Use Environment Variable in Parameter Section of Jenkins Pipeline

I have an environment variable which represents a gitrepo and I use this repo in my git parameter:
pipeline {
agent any
options {
buildDiscarder(logRotator(numToKeepStr: '5', artifactNumToKeepStr: '1'))
disableConcurrentBuilds()
}
environment {
GitRepo = '
}
parameters {
gitParameter branchFilter: 'origin/(.*support.*)', defaultValue: 'develop', name: 'SUPPORTBRANCH', type: 'PT_BRANCH', useRepository: env.GitRepo , sortMode: 'DESCENDING_SMART'
}
...}
When I use env.GitRepo inside the stages of my pipeline it works, but not when I use it in a parameter section.
How can I make this work?

Does it really need to be an environment variable? If not a simple property could do the trick. Of course you can still use it to define the environment variable if required...
I used a string parameter just because for me it seemed too difficult to get a simple example running using the gitParameter plugin. But of course you can use the property also for the git parameter plugin.
// simply define the property here...
gitRepo = '
pipeline {
agent any
environment {
// optional, not used below. Use only if you need to have an environment variable
GitRepo = gitRepo
}
options {
buildDiscarder(logRotator(numToKeepStr: '5', artifactNumToKeepStr: '1'))
disableConcurrentBuilds()
}
parameters {
string defaultValue: gitRepo, description: '', name: 'Test', trim: false
}
stages {
stage ('foo') {
steps {
echo 'Hi'
}
}
}
}
