I have a catalog I use everywhere but now I have a case where I need the catalog to be a bit different for qa and dev, is it possible to conditionally add an import or use a yaml function to match a value as if that is present then add xxxxx lines?

components:
  terraform:
    functionappwindows:
      metadata:
        type: abstract
      vars:
          name: pepe
          # If is dev or QA add :
          ip_whitelist:
             - 2.2.2.2
             - 1.1.1.1

Are you aware of the the new atmos profiles feature?

I remember there were conditional imports but I have not tried anything yet

I don't believe we implemented conditional imports

I can see how profiles could work but I'm using CP actions so my next question will be, is this implemented there?

But personally I disdain all forms of templating and always look for conventional ways to solve it

then I will have to modify my workflows to add that

It addresses a whole class of problems. With this you can also ensure any other setting in atmos can vary, and everything is documented in the configs

I'm not sure I understand the issue. If you want different variable in qa and dev but the same in the others, why not create a different catalog definition that inherits the defaults and adds to it?

# catalog/functionappwindows/defaults.yaml
components:
  terraform:
    functionappwindows:
      vars:
        name: pepe
        # default values for your component

# catalog/functionappwindows/nonprod.yaml
import:
- catalog/functionappwindows/defaults

components:
  terraform:
    # extends functionappwindows that's defined in catalog/functionappwindows/defaults
    functionappwindows:
      vars:
        # values that are unique for nonprod (dev and qa) 
        ip_whitelist:
          - 2.2.2.2
          - 1.1.1.1

then in dev and qa import the nonprod archetype

# stacks/orgs/acme/dev
# stacks/orgs/acme/qa
import:
- catalog/functionappwindows/nonprod

and in prod just import the default (or create a prod catalog)

# stacks/orgs/acme/prod
import:
- catalog/functionappwindows/prod
OR
- catalog/functionappwindows/defaults

Ahhh true I could do that easy if we were talking of one monorepo, but that change will mean 34 PRs to my service repos
