Could not expand value in property quarkus.container-image.tag when assigning an environment variable

[spr-nates]

Good day! I tried updating our project to version 3.20.1 and updated all the necessary properties. But I suddenly get an error when building/running the project via ./gradlew clean build:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':quarkusAppPartsBuild'.
There was a failure while executing work items
   > A failure occurred while executing io.quarkus.gradle.tasks.worker.BuildWorker
      > Configuration validation failed:
                java.util.NoSuchElementException: SRCFG00011: Could not expand value BUILD_VERSION in property quarkus.container-image.tag

I am setting the env variable ${BUILD_VERSION} to quarkus.container-image.tag for the image build of our project. I am using io.quarkus:quarkus-container-image-docker. Before updating the version to 3.20.1, the project works perfectly fine and I think my issue is related with this one. I was able to replicate it on a newly created project. Can you help me with this issue? Thank you!
