## Legacy
Prior to Coder v0.16.0 (Jan 2023), parameters were defined via Terraform `variable` blocks. These "legacy parameters" can still be used in templates, but will be removed in May 2023.
### Legacy parameters are unsupported now
```hcl
variable "use_kubeconfig" {
sensitive = true # Template-level parameter (not editable when creating a workspace)
type = bool
description = <<-EOF
Use host kubeconfig? (true/false)
EOF
}
In Coder, workspaces using legacy parameters can't be deployed anymore. To address this, it is necessary to either remove or adjust incompatible templates.
In some cases, deleting a workspace with a hard dependency on a legacy parameter may be challenging. To cleanup unsupported workspaces, administrators are advised to take the following actions for affected templates:
variable "cpu" {
sensitive = false # User (workspace-level) parameter
description = "CPU (__ cores)"
default = 2
validation {
condition = contains([
"2",
"4",
"6",
"8"
], var.cpu)
error_message = "Invalid cpu!"
}
}
```
> ⚠️ Legacy (`variable`) parameters and rich parameters can't be used in the same template.
1. Enable the `feature_use_managed_variables` provider flag.
2. Ensure that every legacy variable block has defined missing default values, or convert it to `coder_parameter`.
3. Push the new template version using UI or CLI.
4. Update unsupported workspaces to the newest template version.
5. Delete the affected workspaces that have been updated to the newest template version.
### Migration
Terraform variables shouldn't be used for workspace scoped parameters anymore, and it's recommended to convert variables to `coder_parameter` resources. To make the migration smoother, there is a special property introduced -

Terraform `variable` shouldn't be used for workspace scoped parameters anymore, and it's required to convert `variable` to `coder_parameter` resources. To make the migration smoother, there is a special property introduced -
`legacy_variable` and `legacy_variable_name` , which can link `coder_parameter` with a legacy variable.
