Can someone please help with below  question.

how to put AMI name in packer manifest

Just for easy access pasting the same question here.

I would like to get the AMI name into the packer manifest. I understand how to get this for the AMI id but its different for the name. I have:

```

data "amazon-ami" "ubuntu" {

  filters = {

     name = "ubuntu-minimal/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-focal-20.04-amd64-minimal-*"

     root-device-type    = "ebs"

     virtualization-type = "hvm"

  }

  most_recent = true

  region      = "us-east-1"

}

source "amazon-ebs" "ui" {

  ami_name      = "my-ami-${formatdate("YYYY-MM-DD-hhmmss", timestamp())}"

  instance_type = "t3.small"

  region        = "us-east-1"

  source_ami    = "${data.amazon-ami.ubuntu.id}"

  ssh_pty       = true

  ssh_username  = "ubuntu"

}

build {

  sources = ["source.amazon-ebs.ui"]

  

  post-processor "manifest" {

    output = "manifest.json"

    strip_path = true

    custom_data = {

      version = "${source.ami_name}"

    }

  }

}

```

The error I am getting is Unsupported attribute; This object does not have an attribute named "ami_name".
