New secrets / variables return $null
PSU 2026.2.3 - PostgreSQL DB - Linux - Podman/Docker Rootless
Hey,
Noticed an issue with creating new secret and variables. I had issues with new secrets in prior versions but only had time today to investigate, so i don't know if its new.
Creating a secret / var and using it in an app always returns an empty string. Old secrets and vars are not affected.
Oddly changing the order breaks the app
To test i tried to output the variable in a script
while testing i found some other bug:
I hope this gets fixed soon

Hello Dynamic66,
Thank you for the detailed report and the supporting screenshots.
Since this behavior affects newly created variables and secrets, we will consult directly with our Development team.
Development is already preparing a correction for a separate issue involving variables and secrets not being loaded during test execution. Because both reports affect the same feature area, that correction may also be relevant to the behavior you are seeing. However, we cannot yet confirm that the two issues share the same root cause or that the planned correction will resolve this case.
We will provide an update once Development has reviewed the behavior reported here and confirmed whether it is related to the existing issue or requires a separate correction.
Best regards,
Ruben Tapia
Found part of the issue, did not add the new variables into the correct environment for Apps. It would be cool to have a select option in the variable creation modal to add it to an environment.
The Strange behavior of the scripts persist, but is not critical for me.
Hello Dynamic66,
Thank you for the clarification.
That explains the App behavior. The newly created variables were not included in the environment selected for the Apps, so we will treat that portion as an environment configuration issue rather than a confirmed product defect.
Your suggestion to include an environment selector in the variable creation dialog is useful. We will include it in our internal review as a potential usability improvement, although we cannot confirm whether or when this option may be implemented.
We will keep the remaining Script behavior separate from the App configuration issue and include it in the Development consultation previously mentioned. Since you confirmed that it is not currently critical, we will update this topic if Development confirms whether it is related to the existing variables and secrets issue or requires separate tracking.
Best regards,
Ruben Tapia
