Are you interested in implementing this yourself?

I wouldn't recommend templating input names as it'll just make it harder for the script to know what filesystem to expect. You should probably use input_mapping instead.

If you need to, though, the task step supports vars:.

So using input_mapping ,there is a way I can read input name from variables?

Inputs:

• name: ((myvar))

[vito]

With input_mapping you wouldn't need to read the input name from a variable, you would map the name to a static input name defined in the task config:

plan:
- get: diego-release
- get: cf-release
- get: ci-scripts
- task: audit-diego-release
  file: ci-scripts/audit-release.yml
  input_mapping: {release-repo: diego-release}
- task: audit-cf-release
  file: ci-scripts/audit-release.yml
  input_mapping: {release-repo: cf-release}
