Bitbucket Pipelines import steps from another repo pipelines

[Roel Janken]

I recently discovered some new features in development and hopefully released soon.

In the `pipelines-schema.json` which you can view when using VS Code, there is mentioning of an "import" setting a "Location to import pipelines config from"

...
    "import": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "import": {
          "type": "string",
          "pattern": "\\S:\\S",
          "title": "Location to import pipelines config from",
          "description": "The import needs to match the following format: {repo-slug|repo-uuid}:{tag|branch-name}"
        }
      },
...

In the `bitbucket-pipelines.yml` you want to use as a source to import from, you need to set a property `export: true` on the root level, according to the JSON Schema 

Unfortunately I can not get it to work yet but I am looking forward to a feature to be able to use another pipelines as a template or library.

Does anybody have any experience yet or looked into as well?

Hello @Roel Janken ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community!

Our development team is working on functionality that will allow users to share the yml configs in Bitbucket Pipeline. This feature is currently being tracked in the following ticket : 

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-14078

The implementation of this feature is already in progress, but we cannot provide an ETA on when it will be completed. The best way to stay tuned for any update regarding the implementation of that functionality is to add yourself as a watcher in that ticket, so you will receive first-hand updates whenever there's any progress. Feel free to also add your vote and comments there so it helps give it traction.

Thank you, @Roel Janken !
