Rundeck parse option based on another option value - ansible

Question

I need rundeck to parse an option based on the value selected in another option. I have an option ${option.env} and other options like ${option.id_dev}, ${option.id_qa}
I want to achieve something like below for extra-vars, so that "env" option value determines which id(dev or qa) to read.
ansible-playbook /build.yml -e id=${option.id_${option.env.value}}
Is this possible or Could I pass extra-vars like a conditional case based on env value ?. I'm using rundeck 3.0.X
Update :
To give clear info, If I select 'dev' for the option 'env', I need to use its value like ${option.id_${option.env.value}} , so it translates to ${option.id_dev} to get other option in the command line

Answer 1

You can use cascade remote options in a tricky way. The explanation is at the end of this answer.
I made a little example to see how to achieve this:
The branches.json file (referenced on the job options as "branches"):
[
{"name":"branch1", "value":"branch1.json"},
{"name":"branch2", "value":"branch2.json"},
{"name":"branch3", "value":"branch3.json"}
]
The branch1.json is the first tentative value of the branches option:
[
{"name":"v1", "value":"1"},
{"name":"v2", "value":"2"},
{"name":"v3", "value":"3"}
]
The branch2.json is the second tentative value of the branches option:
[
{"name":"v4", "value":"4"},
{"name":"v5", "value":"5"},
{"name":"v6", "value":"6"}
]
The branch3.json is the third tentative value of the branches option:
[
{"name":"v7", "value":"7"},
{"name":"v8", "value":"8"},
{"name":"v9", "value":"9"}
]

Explanation
As you see, the value of the first option is always a file name, if you take the value directly you always obtain an "option1.json" like string, so, the trick here is to cut the file extension and take only the name as the value, for that, I used this approach.
So, with the first selection value and the second one, you can do anything later in a script, for example, launch the ansible-playbook command in the inline script.
Check the example result.
UPDATED ANSWER:
The closest way is just using two options and concatenating them in the command step but isn't possible to get the option value inside the other one as you say.
Just like this:
- defaultTab: nodes
description: ''
executionEnabled: true
id: 4e8df698-c7ca-4a10-9f70-bc68c1007a10
loglevel: INFO
name: NewJob
nodeFilterEditable: false
options:
- enforced: true
name: env
value: qa
values:
- qa
- prod
- stage
valuesListDelimiter: ','
- enforced: true
name: id_dev
value: '1'
values:
- '1'
- '2'
- '3'
valuesListDelimiter: ','
plugins:
ExecutionLifecycle: null
scheduleEnabled: true
sequence:
commands:
- exec: echo ${option.env}_${option.id_dev}
keepgoing: false
strategy: node-first
uuid: 4e8df698-c7ca-4a10-9f70-bc68c1007a10
Result.
(the cascade option is another approach)
