https://github.com/meltano/meltano/issues/5983 and the demo that was done looks interesting. Tried to read docs on this and it looks like there are not any or am I missing it? I have this set

auth_url [env: TAP_AZUREAD_AUTH_URL] current value: abc(default)

I want to reference

TAP_AZUREAD_AUTH_URL

in a different place. So I tried doing 1.

meltano config meltano set FF_ENV_VAR_STRICT_MODE true

2.

auth_url: ${TAP_AZUREAD_AUTH_URL}

in my meltano.yml under my TARGET_AZUREAD target 3. I had no failure, after

meltano config target-azuread list

I get

auth_url [env: TARGET_AZUREAD_AUTH_URL] current value: None (from `meltano.yml`: '${TAP_AZUREAD_AUTH_URL}')`

😕 Want an issue? I'd assume it's something that's not supported but I dont' know what is supported I guess

@flat-bear-81546 - Yeah, this looks like a 🐛 . An issue would be helpful.

Making the non ff strict mode issue now

👍 I'll open one for the strict mode flag.

https://github.com/meltano/meltano/issues/6605 done!
