|
|
|
|
|
source and to set specific fields.

build {

source "amazon-ebs.example" {

output = "specific-value"
|

}

# ...

}
|
|
|

```

-> **Note:** If any top-level attribute is re-defined with the same name an
|
2020-05-28 16:22:07 +02:00
|
|
|
error will be displayed. For example: you cannot define the `output` field in
|
2020-05-26 15:29:47 +02:00
|
|
|
the source declaration **and** in the source usage.
