Hi guys,

I am writing a number of yaml playbook to run some JSON curl command. the first part of that JSON once run returned a response which is call versionId and applicationId. something key and value.That part 2 supposed use the value of versionId **“local$43d12cfd-f64a-4fa9-9367-3a0109c1721d” part one in the applications array of part 2. Is it possible rather than use the value** **“versionId”: “local$43d12cfd-f64a-4fa9-9367-3a0109c1721d” on applications. Something like application [“versionId”] so anytime I have a new versionId applications will pick that new value. I don’t if it makes sens. all I want to do is to make that more configurable**
