• You can’t modify or remove an output value that is referenced by another stack.

Hey @Blake E, a common workaround I’ve seen ppl do to get around not able to modify an export is using SSM instead. So in one stack you create an SSM param with the value and export the SSM key. Then in import the SSM key in another stack.

This way you can change the value in SSM while the SSM key remains the same 🤷♂️
