Get the correct address dynamically using morpheus variables

Hi,

I’m currently trying to get a blueprint to work, hence I want to make a distributed MERN stack, 1st I provision a VM let’s say called (database), then another VM (backend)

I’m using Ansible playbooks to automate the installations, however when on the second VM (backend) provisioning I need to pick the 1st provisioned VM (database) address

I tried using something like (below) but had no luck, I’m not sure if possible to get it dynamically or so…
**

database_host_address : “{{ morpheus[‘instance’][‘containers’] | selectattr(‘hostname’, ‘equalto’, ‘database’) | map(attribute=‘externalIp’) | first }}”

**

appreciate the feedback! thanks
