Having version lazy is way older than the provider API. For Gradle 9 (iirc) there is an effort to fully lazify the Gradle core API. We'll see whether this includes the version. In the meantime the "proper" way is to have something that does the lazy calculation in it's

toString

as version.

But practically this also means that I can't set the output of a task as value somehow, correct?

You couldn't either way usually. Chances are, the version is resolved before your task would have run

Yeah, almost thought something like this, but wanted to be sure. Thanks!
