[FlexMatch] Can we define comparison rule expansions by comparing attribute across player ?

Question

Hello Flexmatch Team,

I didn't see anywhere mention that we could define relaxations on the comparison rule type by comparing the attributes of the players between them. For instance, in the rule `DifferentCharacter` in [example 6](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gamelift/latest/flexmatchguide/match-examples.html), i would like to authorize an amount of duplicated characters according to the waiting time , like described below :

```
{
        "target": "rules[DifferentCharacter].maxCount",
        "steps": [{
            "waitTimeSeconds": 30,
            "value": 1
        }, {
            "waitTimeSeconds": 60,
            "value": 2
        }]
}
```

Thank you  !

Hello! What i would recommend is assigning a value to players with the same character, say 1, and assigning a value to players with different characters, say 0. Then, as your expansion takes place, you can expand this value for the match as a whole to 1 from 0, allowing a single player with a duplicate character, then so on.
