      Hint from "Branches to build" option in "Pipeline script from SCM" option tells that:

      ${ENV_VARIABLE}
       It is also possible to use environment variables. In this case the variables are evaluated and the result is used as described above.
       E.g. ${TREEISH}, refs/tags/${TAGNAME}, ...
      

       However, environment variable not evaluated, resulting following error on script call:

      hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git.exe fetch --tags --force --progress --prune -- origin +refs/heads/${SCRIPTS_REPO_BRANCH_NAME}:refs/remotes/origin/${SCRIPTS_REPO_BRANCH_NAME}" returned status code 128:
