CreateProperty.ValueSetByTask Property
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
This is to fool MSBuild into not doing its little TLDA trick whereby even if a target is up-to-date, it will still set the properties that were meant to be set using the CreateProperty task. This is because MSBuild is smart enough to figure out the value of the output property without running the task. But if the input parameter is differently named than the output parameter, MSBuild can't be smart enough to do that. This is an important scenario for people who want to know whether a particular target was up-to-date or not.

Remarks
Use this property only when you want to avoid having the output property set by MSBuild when it skips the enclosing target because the outputs are up-to-date.
