Question

We use the HelmDeploy@0 task with the 'upgrade' command in our deployment pipelines to AKS. The image and helm charts are deployed to thier respective repositories in the cloud and the chart path is not a pipeline artifact, therefore there is no reason to download pipeline artifacts. HelmDeploy@0 always downloads all pipeline artifacts. In general this downloading the pipeline artifacts take about 1/3 of the time for the entire deployment stage itself as it pulls in all artifacts. Is there a way to stop the task from downloading pipeline artifacts?
