Properties and settings

Properties

A set of properties can be specified against projects, environments, agents and assets. The properties are then available to the actions that are executed within the respective scope. This allows the running actions to query the properties at runtime to influence the change.

Project properties screen

Secure properties

When editing the properties, you can use the secret vault format to tell OpsChain to fetch the value from the configured secret vault.

Buttons & linksFunction
Edit propertiesAllows you to edit the properties of the project, environment, agent or asset.
Upload fileAllows you to upload a file as a property of the project, environment, agent or asset.
Inherited propertiesAllows you to view the properties that are inherited from the project, environment or Git remote.
Compare versionsAllows you to compare the properties between two different versions.

Read more about properties in the properties concept page.

Settings

Similar to properties, the settings tab allows you to specify configuration options that apply to projects, environments, agents and assets. Settings alter how OpsChain behaves, thus the only keys allowed are the ones described in the settings reference.

Project settings screen

Override settings

When creating a change, you can override the settings used only for that change. See the run change page for more information.
