How to set only major and minor NuGet package version in Azure Pipelines from *.nuspec?

Currently, I have *.yaml variables like this, with an auto-increment with a counter:

 variables:  solution: '**/*.sln'  buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'  buildConfiguration: 'Release'  majorVersion: '1'  minorVersion: '1'  patchVersion: $[counter(format('{0}.{1}', variables['majorVersion'], variables['minorVersion']), 0)]  productVersion: $[format('{0}.{1}.{2}', variables['majorVersion'], variables['minorVersion'], variables['patchVersion'])]    

and *.nuspec like this:

<metadata><id>$id$</id><version>1.0.0</version> <!--just a placeholder because can't be empty--><authors>$author$</authors><description>some description</description><releaseNotes>some release notes</releaseNotes></metadata>

What do I want to achieve is to pass major and minor version variables from the *.nuspec to the *.yaml and also to keep auto-increment logic something like this:

<metadata><id>$id$</id><version>1.0.0</version> <!--just a placeholder because can't be empty--><customVar_MajorVersion>1</customVar_MajorVersion><customVar_MinorVersion>1</customVar_MinorVersion><authors>$author$</authors><description>some description</description><releaseNotes>some release notes</releaseNotes></metadata>

And use them something like this:

variables: solution: '**/*.sln'  buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'  buildConfiguration: 'Release'  majorVersion: $(fromMyNuspec.customVar_MajorVersion)   minorVersion: $(fromMyNuspec.customVar_MinorVersion)  patchVersion: $[counter(format('{0}.{1}', variables['majorVersion'], variables['minorVersion']), 0)]  productVersion: $[format('{0}.{1}.{2}', variables['majorVersion'], variables['minorVersion'], variables['patchVersion'])]

Is it possible to get the behaviour as I described?

The closest question I found is this one, but there's no accepted answer.
