Reuse a hash in YAML

Defaults: &defaults
  Company: Foo
  Item: 123

Computer: *defaults
  Price: 3000

However, this generates an error.

Is the only way to anchor each field value separately like this?

Defaults:
  Company: &company Foo
  Item: &item 123

Computer:
  Company: *company
  Item: *item
  Price: 3000

Try reusing a full group by importing it:

Defaults: &defaults
  Company: foo
  Item: 123

Computer:
  <<: *defaults
  Price: 3000
