Consider this resource declaration:

resource storageAccountFileSvc 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/fileServices@2021-09-01' = if (configureIHS) {

I am unfond of having to hard code a specific date into the resource declaration. Is there any way to externalize that? I may have N occurrences of that kind of resource in my bicep files, why must I hard code the same value every time? I must update N occurrences when the arm-ttk tells me my version is too old.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ed

As per July 2022 this is not possible.

There are few discussions related on github that you probably want to folow:

• Support "importing" resourceType and apiVersion mappings for specific resource types

• Support string interpolation in resource type string

• Addition of @Latest for Version and general change of APIVersion to Semantic Versioning

• Do something to make it easier to deal with resource types & api versions

• Using latest api version of a resource
