Azure Devops environment variable not resolving in task

Question

In an Azure Devops Build pipeline, I'm setting an environment variable in Powershell, like below:

And i know the variable works in another powershell task, because of this test:

But I'm not able to actually use this in another, non-powershell task. See this docker build/push task where i'm trying to add a tag. I get an error saying that it can't find that variable. Is my notation wrong somehow? I've tried multiple different variations on the screen shot below, but none have worked.

The notation $env:LOCALTAG is powershell specific. I think you should use the macro syntax $(LOCALTAG) (without $env)
