Prefect Community

Hi, I’m trying to *get* on a secret on my cloud account, and having trouble with that I can successfully *set* a secret using

```from prefect import Client

client = Client()
client.set_secret(name="MYSECRET", value="MY SECRET VALUE")```
I can see ‘MYSECRET’ on my cloud UI, so I’m sure I’m authorized etc. But I am unable to *get* a secret with:

```from prefect.client import Secret

# Load the value of `MYSECRET`
my_secret_value = Secret("MYSECRET").get()```
Where I get a `*** ValueError: Local Secret "MYSECRET" was not found.`  error.

Reading the docs, I see that it should be looking for a local secret first, and if not found, will look for a cloud secret. I think it is not looking for a cloud secret

Hi <@U022R5SBN79>, will look at this. If you want to get it working in the mean, you can set `export PREFECT__CLOUD__USE_LOCAL_SECRETS=false`

I got clarification on this that I should should share with you. The default for this env variable is “true” on local and running on Prefect sets it as false on Cloud to pull from Cloud
