I wish to use an central template, and project based template.

[shiva raj]

My Central template has below

export: true

definitions:

    steps:

        - step &1

        - step &2

        - step &3

pipelines:

    master:

        - step *1

        - step *2

Project based template:

pipelines:

    branches:

        master:

            import: shared-pipeline:branch:master

Now my question is can i create project specific steps in the project based template if so whats the syntax.

Thanks

Hi @shiva raj and welcome to the community!

Are you looking to add additional steps to the master pipeline of the project based template? (If not, please provide more details on what exactly you are trying to do, so I can better help you.)

If so, since you are using an imported pipeline, you can achieve this with parent/child pipelines:

• https://www.atlassian.com/blog/bitbucket/introducing-parent-child-pipelines

A sample yml file is the following:

pipelines:
  branches:
    master:
      - step:
          type: pipeline
          custom: imported-child-pipeline 
      - step:
          script:
            - echo "step 2"
      - step:
          script:
            - echo "step 3"
    custom:
      imported-child-pipeline:
        import: shared-pipeline:branch:exported-pipeline

Would this work for you? Please keep in mind this feature has some limitations, which are mentioned in the blog post I shared.

Kind regards,
Theodora
