Hi, I've been reading these docs on using Kubernetes for executing flows, however I can't seem to figure out how to specify that an environment variable should be filled in from a kubernetes secret in the prefect deployment yaml file. Any guidance here would be appreciated. https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/deployment/kubernetes/

I thought it might be in the under
Copy code
job_variables:
  env:
    ...
but it seems Prefect expects the value of 
env
to be an object, whereas when you're defining a kubernetes deployment yaml file, 
env
is a list of environment variables, i.e.
Copy code
env:
- name: POSTGRES_PASSWORD
  valueFrom:
    secretKeyRef:
      name: db-password
      key: db-password
so not exactly sure how define this in the prefect deployment yaml file.

you can edit the expected type for 
env
in your work pool config's advanced tab
let me grab you an example

can you try this? under 
variables
-> 
properties
Copy code
"env": {
        "title": "Environment Variables",
        "anyOf": [
          {
            "type": "object"
          },
          {
            "type": "array"
          }
        ],
        "description": "Environment variables to set when starting a flow run.",
        "additionalProperties": {
          "type": "string"
        }
      }

just edited a slight correction in case you already copied it

you should even see a type picker in the UI once you save it

Thank you so much, will give this a try!
@Kevin Grismore That worked great! Thanks again 🙂
