Is it possible to set env variables overrides from the work queue level? I have some values I want to set that correspond to the concurrency limit set on my work pools

Alternatively, can I both set default env variables on my base job template on the pool as well as provide additional (additive) variables on my deployment

Hi Max. It’s not possible to set environment variable overrides at the work queue level.

Edit:
If you set environment variables at deployment creation time, all environment variables set in the work pool are overridden.

If it would be helpful to you to have other behavior, please feel free to open a <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/new?assignees=&labels=needs%3Atriage%2Cenhancement&projects=&template=3_feature_enhancement.yaml|Feature Enhancement issue in the GitHub repo>.

Sounds good. Yeah, I'd like to be able to set some base variables in job template and then override or append selectively from the deployment
