Could the team please make the documentation around a0deploys Keyword Replacement more explicit about how environment variables work?
We’ve found that you can do keyword replacement with environment variables, but we’re not sure if you need to add an entry to the config.json under AUTH0_KEYWORD_REPLACE_MAPPINGS or if it just works by default without that.
The documentation doesn’t even mention that you can use environment variables! Would appreciate some more clarity around this.
Kind regards,
Nathan
Hi @nkramer1
Thank you for reaching out to us!
Reading through our documentation on Keyword Replacement, after setting the mappings for the AUTH0_KEYWORD_REPLACE_MAPPINGS property, the keywords can be injected in the configuration files through either @ or # symbols, having a different effect as detailed in the doc. A couple of other useful articles/docs on this matter that could prove useful:
If in your testing you are observing a different behaviour than intended/described in our docs, please submit a Feature Request - our Product team monitors the queue of these requests and can forward the input to our internal teams. Others can vote on the submission and increase visibility over it.
Hope this helped!

Hi @gerald.czifra,
I’m wondering specifically about replacements for environment variables. The documentation doesn’t mention environment variables, yet it is possible to use them. I was hoping the documentation could be updated to reflect this and describe exactly how it works, since right now it feels a bit like an undocumented feature.
