define

This variable can define new placeholders! There are more ways how to use this:

Yaml:

# example definitions
- define: "%myplaceholder% as Hello World"
- define: "%myplaceholder.myparameter.$% as Hello $"
- define: "%myplaceholder.other.$.$% as %otherplaceholder.$.otherparameter.$"
- define %otherplaceholder% as bronze
# usage
- STONE for 1 of %otherplaceholder%

Note that you can't do this:

- define: %placeholder%
  stack: STONE # this will be ignored

You must do this:

- define: %placeholder%
- stack: STONE # stack can't have same hyphen as definition

Groovy:

inventory {
  // example definitions
  define '%myplaceholder% as Hello World'
  define '%myplaceholder.myparameter.$% as Hello $'
  define '%myplaceholder.other.$.$% as %otherplaceholder.$.otherparameter.$'
  define '%otherplaceholder% as bronze'
  // usage
  item('STONE for 1 of %otherplaceholder%')
}
