 - **WITH_V** _(optional)_ - Tag version with `v` character.
 - **RELEASE_BRANCHES** _(optional)_ - Comma separated list of branches (bash reg exp accepted) that will generate the release tags. Other branches and pull-requests generate versions postfixed with the commit hash and do not generate any tag. Examples: `master` or `.*` or `release.*,hotfix.*,master` ...
-- **CUSTOM_TAG** _(optional)_ - Set a custom tag, useful when generating tag based on f.ex FROM image in a docker image. **Setting this tag will invalidate any other settings set!**
 - **SOURCE** _(optional)_ - Operate on a relative path under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE.
 - **DRY_RUN** _(optional)_ - Determine the next version without tagging the branch. The workflow can use the outputs `new_tag` and `tag` in subsequent steps. Possible values are `true` and `false` (default).
 - **INITIAL_VERSION** _(optional)_ - Set initial version before bump. Default `0.0.0`.
