Pull request overview
Updates the “Substitute variables in templates” documentation to reference the correct variable that controls whether variable-substitution failures fail a deployment, aligning the docs with current Calamari/Octopus behavior.
Changes:
- Updated the page to replace the incorrect variable (
Octopus.Action.Package.IgnoreVariableReplacementErrors) withOctopusShouldFailDeploymentOnSubstitutionFails. - Corrected the documented default behavior to indicate deployments do not fail by default on substitution failures.
- Updated the page
modDate.

The docs were referencing Octopus.Action.Package.IgnoreVariableReplacementErrors on the Substitute Variables in Templates page, but that variable belongs to the XML/structured config features. The correct variable for this feature is OctopusShouldFailDeploymentOnSubstitutionFails, introduced in Calamari PR #1430.
The default behavior was also originally documented incorrectly. It was corrected so the user expects a their deployment to succeed by default and only fail if the variable is added.
