It seems like Database Name is linked as a [Process Parameter](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/parameters?view=azure-devops).

Under the "SQL Deployment" process, you should see the variable there in an editable state. You can either fill in the value there, or you can unlink and fill in the value in the "SQL DB Deploy" task.
