1. Each default collection has a `key` that when calling to effect a specific collection you must replace `<<key>>` with when calling.

### Example Template Variable Amendments

The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

    That's a tooltip, you can press them to get more information.

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: oscars
        template_variables:
          collection_mode: show_items #(1)!
          collection_order: alpha #(2)!
          radarr_add_missing: true #(3)!
          name_format: Emmys <<key_name>> Winners #(4)!
          data:
            starting: current_year-10 #(5)!
            increment: 2 #(6)!
            ending: current_year #(7)!
```

1.  Shows the collection and all of its items within the Library tab in Plex
2.  Sorts the collection items alphabetically
3.  Adds items from the source list which are not in Plex to Radarr
4.  Change the name of the collections to "Oscars yearhere Winners"
5.  If today is 2024, then create collections for Oscars 2014 onwards
6.  If starting year is 2014, then create collections for 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020, etc.
7.  If today is 2024, then the final collection is Oscars 2024
