Admitting Defeat on the Database

Yeah, ok. This is where I had to admit that I was going to need some kind of "database". I still cheated though. Since most systems shouldn't have incidents/maintenance that often - right? - I decided to use a script template in Rewst. The script template is set up in YAML and then immediately converted to JSON using the 

|from_yaml_string

filter. If you've never done this before, you can set a data alias under a noop transition at the start of your workflow and use this as the format:

{{ template("template GUID copied from end of URL for template")|from_yaml_string }}
