Re: Allow Puppet function calls from hiera data Currently it's only possible to use these interpolation functions: https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/hiera_merging.html#interpolation_functions We've had requests to allow arbitrary puppet functions such as this and PUP-11546. Henrik Lindberg has said it's possible to do this using his https://github.com/hlindberg/tahu module. I'm going to move this to the PUP project, since this JIRA project is for Hiera 3
