Conflict between serverless and aws syntax in yml

Serverless Framework
1

Reading various forum posts has led me to this solution…

Change the serverless yml escape sequence:

variableSyntax: '\$<([ :a-zA-Z0-9._,\\-\\/\\(\\)]+?)>'

Change all of my serverless variable references to match the new syntax:

    DYNAMODB_TABLE: $<self:service>-$<opt:stage, self:provider.stage>

Now I can use AWS variables in the yml file:

      Condition:
          ForAllValues:StringEquals:
            dynamodb:LeadingKeys:
                   ["${cognito-identity.amazonaws.com:sub}"]

Is there a better way to do this? I quickly stumbled into this conflict as a new user and got bogged down trying to find a work around.

Unfortunately, no.

The variableSyntax property is exposed to deal with this exact issue.
