Environment variables specific to an AI Workbench Project may be defined by users. These variables are stored as key-value pairs with an optional description in a variables.env file in the project repository. The variables.env is passed as an argument while running the project container.
Environment variables may be created, deleted and updated in a project. Currently, the value of an environment variable may be updated only through the Desktop app. In order to update the variable name, the old variable should be deleted and a new variable with the updated name should be created.
If an environment variable is created/ deleted/ updated while the project container is running, you must restart the project container for the changes to take effect.
