Can we use the same build steps repeatedly in the cloudbuild yaml file

Question

In the GCP cloud build yaml file, can we use the steps repeatedly by passing the same arguments again but with different file names. Ex:

- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/gke-deploy'
  args:
    - run
    - '--filename=kubernetes-job'
    - '--image=asia-south1-docker.pkg.dev/product-staging-apps/test-stg-repo/staging-app:$SHORT_SHA'
    - '--location=asia-south1'
    - '--cluster=stg-gke-cluster'
  id: 'job'
- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/gke-deploy'
  args:
    - run
    - '--filename=kubernetes-app'
    - '--image=asia-south1-docker.pkg.dev/product-staging-apps/test-stg-repo/staging-app:$SHORT_SHA'
    - '--location=asia-south1'
    - '--cluster=stg-gke-cluster'
  waitFor: ['job']

I have tried by setting the above and first deployment succeeded and second deployment throwing an error as-

 Error: failed to prepare deployment: failed to save suggested configuration files to "output/suggested": output directory "output/suggested" exists and is not empty

Not yet. But a feature is cooking for that. Stay tuned! – guillaume blaquiere Nov 04 '22 at 14:58 — guillaume blaquiere, Nov 04 '22 at 14:58

This is what i have been using, you can consider it as work around might be help.

Cloudbuild.yaml

- id: 'build test core image'
  name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker'
  args: ['build', '-t', 'gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/$REPO_NAME/$BRANCH_NAME:$SHORT_SHA', '.']
- id: 'push test core image'
  name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker'
  args: ['push', 'gcr.io/$PROJECT_ID/$REPO_NAME/$BRANCH_NAME:$SHORT_SHA']

Can we use the same build steps repeatedly in the cloudbuild yaml file
