The name of the generated templateName, by default, is [environmentName]-YYYYMMDD-NN, where NN increases from 1 to 99 if there's another one available.
You could launch an environment using this template name. In this case it accepts wildcards. If present, if will get all matching wildcards, sort, and pick the first in REVERSE ASCII-BETICAL ORDER:
