The bug

From support email:

Octopus Version: 2018.7.13

I had mistakenly set a project release version template to:

#{Octopus.Date.Year}.#{Octopus.Date.Month}.#{Octopus.Date.Day}.#{Octopus.Date.Hour}

Instead of:

#{Octopus.Date.Year}.#{Octopus.Date.Month}.#{Octopus.Date.Day}.#{Octopus.Time.Hour}

I also had a scheduled trigger that creates a release (not sure what happens if you create the release manually). When it triggered, it looked like it did start deploying to tenants, but the release was named "2018.09.10.#{Octopus.Date.Hour}".This blew up the dashboard with an error about parsing the variables. I also could not manually get into the release to delete it, with a similar error.

As a quick workaround, I had to go into SQL and manually edit the release name and then restart the Octopus service to get back in.

What I expected to happen

When an invalid replacement (Octopus.Date.Hour) is found don't crash the dashboard.

Steps to reproduce

Set the release version template to #{Octopus.Date.Year}.#{Octopus.Date.Month}.#{Octopus.Date.Day}.#{Octopus.Date.Hour} and manually create the release.
