Hello Folks

I am trying to set up awx environments with respective external database. I have added **postgres\_configuration\_secret: awx-configuration-secret** in Values.yaml file.

awx-deploy.yaml has below code in it.

{{- /\* Postgres configs if enabled and not already present \*/}}  
{{- if and .Values.AWX.postgres.enabled (not (hasKey .Values.AWX.spec “postgres\_configuration\_secret”)) }}  
postgres\_configuration\_secret: {{ include “postgres.secretName” $ }}  
{{- end }}  
{{- end }}

this configuration works well but when I change the database awx installation doesn’t take newly configured database.

any thought?
