Is it possible to use an environment variable to store a color value? I've tried, but no luck. I'm sure that I'm just missing something.

Thank you for an overview! I miss the information how to use this in ALM. Like using default / current values over two environments. Still a good video tho!

What about if you aren't using CDS aka Dataverse ? If you have a canvas app which uses Sharepoint and you need to move the canvas app between environments eg dev to test to prod and you need to keep changing the connections ? Environment variables would be ideal for this use case.

Great video! So, Dataverse license is mandatory to be able to use environment variables right?

Great stuff, thanx again. Strange that there is no integer type. With a lot of variables, there are a lot of lookups in the onstart. I tried to somehow, import the definitions or values as a collection, but no success yet.
