Hello there

I’m a novice user of balena, excuse me if I’m asking the obvious. I couldn’t find any hint in the documentation about my issue.

I’m trying to edit Device Service Variables after I pushed a container to a device. I’m only able to edit the overrides, but not the global settings. Is there a way to do that after a push?

Thanks,  
Simon

Try the application (not the device) to edit the overall Service and Application Environment variables

- [https://dashboard.balena-cloud.com](https://dashboard.balena-cloud.com)
- click on application
- click on Service Variables in the left column of buttons

Hey Jason

Thanks for the hint, works like a charm. I didn’t realize there were two layers of configuration! Makes sense!

No problem, I’m constantly getting confused by the options too!
