Description

I am using Patch YAML and with Slick Syntax. My Patch content is :
= /spec/template/metadata/labels/app.kubernetes.io/version => "v2022.ZZ"
The Problem here is my yaml is something like :

...
metadata:
      labels:
        app.kubernetes.io/name: something
        app.kubernetes.io/instance: something
        app.kubernetes.io/component: backend
        environment: production
        app: appname
        app.kubernetes.io/version: "v2022.XX"
...

I tried two slashes and doesnt work. Is there a way to use / in variable or it is a feature request?

Here is my pipeline output
