argocd helm parameters override sub-chart

[joyartoun]

Hi all,

I am trying to override values in a sub-chart by using an application in argocd and specifying parameters there. However it does not work.

I am trying to use the netbox chart, which has dependencies on redis and postgresql, but then I want to override the values for redis and postgresql through the argocd application.

This is the Chart.yml

apiVersion: v2
appVersion: v3.2.8
dependencies:
- condition: postgresql.enabled
  name: postgresql
  repository: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
  version: 10.x.x
- condition: redis.enabled
  name: redis
  repository: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
  version: 15.x.x

  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
      selfHeal: true
    syncOptions:
      - CreateNamespace=true

However the values that start with "postgresql" does not affect the sub-chart.

Does anyone have any idea about how to do this? or am I stuck with deploying individual charts?

Best regards
