Is it possible to define variables for one step?

Fabio B_o8czrz

Hey, 

I need to build many pipelines which essentially do the same thing. Therefore, I basically wanna share the script between the files and then only change the vars. 

.myscript: &mayscript
 script:
   - do_something $CUSTOM_VAR


pipelines:
  branches:
    master:
      - parallel:
          - step:
            variables:
               - name: CUSTOM_VAR
                 default: VALUE_1
            <<: *myscript
          step:
            variables:
              - name: CUSTOM_VAR
                default: VALUE_2
             <<: *myscript

My current workaround is to define a deployment env and define the vars tehre and then give each step a deployment env.

Hi @Fabio B and welcome to the community!

I'm afraid that this is not possible at the moment.

We have a feature request in our issue tracker that you can vote for and add yourself as a watcher if you'd like to get notified via email on updates:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-20821

In the meantime, if you want to use YAML anchors, the workaround is the one you are using already with deployment environments and variables.

Kind regards,
Theodora
