Thank you so much! The below syntax worked for me as well.
filters: "{{ { 'tag:' ~ tag_name: tag_value } }}"
I had a follow up question related to this. How can I add multiple filters
with one filter being "{{ { 'tag:' ~ tag_name: tag_value } }}"?
I am trying to add it like we do in all other cases(shown below) but it
gives an error.
filters:
instance-state-name: ["running"]
"{{ { 'tag:' ~ tag_name: tag_value } }}"
However, I get a syntax error.
Can you please suggest what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!!
