Dynamic Variables for Users

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently I am unaware of any dynamic variables we can use in the config.cfg which means each time I generate desktop, I have to rename it or remove the old profile in Wireguard or I have duplicate profiles.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to use Dynamic Variables in the usernames in the config.cfg such as {date} or {time}, even {provider} {region}. I'm using algo to generate a new VPN daily for security, and this would help in WireGuard for differentiating between the different ones that were generated.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually changing the names before importing to WireGuard.

You can use whatever ansible supports - https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_vars_facts.html
eg: "test-{{ ansible_date_time.date }}"

"test-{{ ansible_date_time.date }}"

Wouldn't that cause all existing users to be deleted during update-users?

@davidemyers Oh, yes, this is correct. At the moment I don't see a way how it can be implemented. We'll need to wait until wg-dynamic is generally available
