Description
### Details
We're using this action to deploy to dynamic environments, e.g. `https://feature-1234.example.com` where `feature-1234` is the environment name. We use a branch slug to create the env name or allow the user to enter his one via `.deploy to some-env`.
However I need to hack the action to allow these names by doing some github workflows magic, like:
```yaml
# Allow to use the custom env name if provided via command (parsed from comment)
- name: Final Env Name
id: env
run: |
name=${{ steps.custom-env.outputs.result }}
- uses: github/branch-deploy@v9.9.1
id: bot
with:
trigger: ".deploy"
environment: ${{ steps.env.outputs.name }}
# Don't restrict the list of environments to deploy to, to allow usage of free-name environments
environment_targets: ${{ steps.env.outputs.name }},staging,canary
```
It would be very useful to accept a falsey value for `environment_targets` (or some wildcard chars, or a regex) to allow dynamic env names.
Another option would be to provide an input to skip the `environment_targets` validation for the action.
Thanks.
