Failed to apply default image tag when trying to use kustomize image transformer and image policy

[mudux]

Hello everyone

I have a layered application and am using customize to apply different images per namespace

but when using kustomize image transformer as follows:

images:
  - name: image_placeholder
    newName: ########.dkr.ecr.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/image-testing
    newTag: 0.0.1 # { "$imagepolicy" : "flux-system:testing-image-policy"}

The entire line after # gets omitted.

I wasnt able to get any where with the current documentation.

How else can I incorporate usage of kustomize image transformer and also enable image policy per namespace?

Thank you.
