Hi,
In the previous variables interface it was possible to create a variable at the application level and then easily promote it to application level, but it’s not possible anymore:
It would be nice to have that back
At the application level I think there also was a list of “orphaned” (only defined in an application) where we were able to promote them too
Hey @mathroc thanks once again for posting, and again you’re totally right! We have this one logged already but I’ve linked it up to this forum topic internally so we’ll be able to let you know when it gets resolved.
As an aside, and if you’re interested, ping me your address and t-shirt size on a private message and I’ll see if we can find something at balena HQ to say thanks for your contributions.
