We have a collection of actions that deploy to different environment based on pattern matching the tag, and so far as I’ve been able to find, the new filtering functionality is not as capable

jobs:
  filter:
    name: 'deploy:beta:filter'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      -
        uses: actions/bin/filter@master
        with:
          args: tag v*.*.*-beta.*

So far as I’ve been able to figure out, you can’t do wildcard filtering like we need

args: tag v*.*.*-alpha.*
args: tag v*.*.*-beta.*
args: tag v*.*.*-staging.*
args: not tag v*.*.*-*.*

Is there a way to accomplish this kind of filtering now?

Any suggestions for what we can do?

Here is a full example of our deploy script in case that matters

name: 'deploy:beta'
on:
  create:
    tags:
      - v*.*.*-beta.*
    branches:
      - 'refs/tags/*'
      - '!refs/heads/*'
jobs:

filter:
