Will the new Stages feature allow defining Stages as a yaml anchors?

[Drew Heasman]

I'm trying out Stages and it would be useful to define a stage once in a pipeline.

From searching I can't find out if this has been considered, is anyone able to shed any light on this?

This works already with a yaml anchor:

definitions:
  steps:
    - step: &just-a-step
        name: Do the thing
        script:
          - echo 'Doing the thing'
  stages:
    - stage: &my-awesome-stage
        name: My awesome stage
        steps:
          - step: *just-a-step

pipelines:
  branches:
    master:
      - stage: *my-awesome-stage

Hi Theodora,

I tried this out and it works, so the ticket is not required
