The Default Value Set in the Variable Library poses a risk.

 

The Default Value Set will silently apply values when no explicit value set has been selected for a Test or Prod workspace.

Fabric should allow us to disable or remove the Default Value Set, and require every workspace to explicitly select a value set.

See the following similar, but different use case IDEA. Shortcuts with invalid paths when a variable set is selected should ERROR not default to previous va...
