Greetings,

I am not sure that I use right category so I am sorry in advance.

Is it possible to add exceptions to the rule using Detection as Code from Elastic directly in the rule file (.toml) without creating a Shared Exception list. I would appreciate any help and examples with this since I have no information regarding this topic.

@proclick I was linked out to these docs - [Frequently Asked Questions — DaC Reference 0.4.0 documentation](https://dac-reference.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#q11-how-should-exception-action-files-be-deployed-to-kibana)

Please let us know if you have questions after reviewing the docs.
