I'm trying to set the variable group according to one varible that exists in the pipeline. The yaml looks like this:

But i'm getting the following error when i'm running the pipeline:

If i remove the "- group : QA" or "- group : PROD" the pipeline runs without any problem. What am I doing wrong?

This is slightly different solution but you may achieve your goal - which is if I understood conditional selection of variable group.

You can use runtime parameters:

parameters:
- name: environment
  displayName: Environment
  type: string
  default: QA
  values:
  - QA
  - PROD

stages:
- stage:
  displayName: 'Build and Restore'
  variables:
  - group: ${{ parameters.environment }}
  jobs:
    - job:
      steps:
      - script: echo $(name)

than running a build you can select your envrionment:

Running a build

Note: I have defined two variable groups QA and PROD with variable name in both groups.

Try with below schema:

variables:
  isProd: true

stages:
- stage: Test
  displayName: Build and restore
  variables:
  - ${{ if eq(variables['isProd'], 'false') }}:
    - group: QA
  - ${{ if eq(variables['isProd'], 'true') }}:
    - group: PROD
  jobs:
  - job: A
    steps:
    - bash: echo $(groupname)

Note: You may receive some red warning when you defining above YAML scipt. Ignore that confused warning and continue to run it.
