MHCLaunchTemplate:
    Type: AWS::EC2::LaunchTemplate
    Properties:
      LaunchTemplateName: !Sub MRxAssist-${AWSEnvironment}
      LaunchTemplateData:
        IamInstanceProfile:
          Arn: !Ref IAMInstanceProfile
        DisableApiTermination: true
        ImageId: !Ref AmiId
        InstanceType: !Ref InstanceType
        KeyName: !Ref SSHKey
        SecurityGroupIds:
          - !Ref InstanceSGFullAccess
          - !Ref InstanceSGOutBoundAccess
          - !ImportValue
              'Fn::Sub': '${AWSEnvironment}-OracleAccessSecurityGroup' 
        UserData:
......

i want to make ->  InstanceSGFullAccess and InstanceSGOutBoundAccess dynamic by appending the environment parameters i.e. QA or QA3 in the same account. and referring them into the MHCLaunchTemplate, so that i don't get "Resource already exists error" when running QA first and QA3 second using the same cloudformation script.

Accepted Answer

You can use the `!Sub` command to append `QA` or `QA3` to the GroupName.
