Create a variable alias

• Allows you to create an alias of one of the existing variables.
• You have to specify an alias (key) in the request body, the scope and the parent id of the alias (project id, environment id or service id)
• The system will create a new variable at the requested level with the same value as the one corresponding to the variable id passed as path parameter.
• The response body will contain the newly created variable
• Information regarding the aliased_variable will be exposed in the “aliased_variable” or in the “aliased_secret” field of the newly created variable
• You can’t create an alias on an alias
