Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Search the existing issues.
• Refer to the FAQ.
• Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

On PowerShell 7.2.0 execute the following code

$myVariable = "I am a variable"
$sb = [scriptblock]::Create('Write-Host "MyVariable: $using:MyVariable"')
1..1 | foreach -Parallel $sb

Expected behavior

Should print out

MyVariable: I am a variable

This is the behaviour with PowerShell 7.1.5

Actual behavior

In throws the following error

InvalidOperation: A Using variable cannot be retrieved. A Using variable can be used only with Invoke-Command, Start-Job, or InlineScript in the script workflow. When it is used with Invoke-Command, the Using variable is valid only if the script block is invoked on a remote computer.
