Attribute inheritance for include statement

Hi,
I have a document composed of multiple hirarchical sub-documents.
Is there any way to pass the attributes (especially the tags attribute) from an included file to its include statement?

Example:
main.adoc:

include::sub.adoc[tags=topic]

sub.adoc:

include::sub2.adoc[] //<- this is where I need tags to be the same as in main.adoc

sub2.adoc:

//tag::topic[]
some text
//end::topic[]
some other text

desired output:

some text

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi,

thanks for your quick answer.
Unfortunately this does not seem to work.
I am getting the following message:

asciidoctor: WARNING: main.adoc: line 3: tag '{tags}' not found in include file: sub.adoc

It seems the attribute is not resolved for the include statement.

That should work. What version of Asciidoctor are you using? You can find out using

{asciidoctor-version}

I am using Version 1.5.7.1

just installed with "gem install asciidoctor"

Using the attreibute {tags} somewhere int the text is working.

I just saw that you added that feature to milestone 1.5.8

What is the best/simplest way to install that version?
