Hi, @[deleted], thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community.

I tested overriding the default variable BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR on a personal repository using the same command you shared here and it worked for me. Could you please confirm what is the error message you receive?

You can also override a default variable by specifying a variable with the same name in the repository or workspace level. To access and configure a repository variable, you need to be an admin of that repository.

• You can manage repository variables in Repository settings > Pipelines > Repository variables. 

• If you want to set a variable in the workspace level, you can follow the next steps: 

1. From your avatar, select a workspace. 

2. Select Settings on the left navigation sidebar to open your Workspace settings. 

3. In the menu on the left, go to  Pipelines > Workspace variables. 

In case you would like to read more about variables and secrets, you can access the following doc:

Please feel free to share any additional information regarding this case.

Kind regards,
