TFS 2015 vNext force build number

Question

Back in TFS 2013 you could temporarily hardcode a build number and then switch back to auto increment to skip ahead with build numbers. Now with TFS 2015 vNext, it seems like I can no longer do this. I went to make a new build definition and wanted to carry on from the last build number from my XAML build but it wouldn't move up.

Any ideas or workarounds for this?

It's also supported. Please check this link for detail steps:Generate custom build numbers in TFS Build vNext

update

Unfortunately, it's impossible.$(Rev:.rr) Its start by one.

What is $(Rev:.rr)?

To ensure that every completed build has a unique name. When a build is completed, if nothing else in the build number has changed, the Rev integer value is incremented by one.
