Yaml anchors, stages, and parallel steps - supported?

[Nate Loiselle]

I am trying to make use of YAML anchors, with different stages, and parallel steps in each stage (not parallel stages).

I have something like the following setup, but it does not seem to work and I want to know if what I am trying to do is supported:

pipelines:
    custom:
        Test Pipeline:
          - stage:
              name: Do multiple things
              deployment: development
              steps:
              - step: *step1
              - step: *step2
                parallel:
                   - step: *pStep1
                   - step: *pStep2
                   - step: *pStep3

@Nate Loiselle Generally speaking, YAML anchors are supported to eliminate repeating blocks in the YAML.

Have a look at the official doc, it should help: https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/yaml-anchors/

The issue I am running into though is with the parallel steps within stage, within the anchor

Hi @Nate Loiselle 

May we know the error you're seeing in pipelines?

Thanks @Nate Loiselle 

Unfortunately, parallel stages are not supported in stages - we have a feature request that you can Watch/Vote for to track progress and increase its visibility with regard to customer demand:
