What will happen if the environment variable value is found in the metadata during deployment?

When a deployment process encounters an environment variable that has a corresponding value in the metadata, that value will be replaced by the variable reference format such as {!___.var_name}. This allows deployment scripts to dynamically adjust to the specific values of environment variables at runtime.

Utilizing such a reference ensures that the deployment process maintains flexibility and can adapt to various environments by pulling in the appropriate values set for those particular environments. It enables the use of standardization in configurations across different deployment scenarios while ensuring that environment-specific settings are accurately applied.

This behavior is particularly useful in scenarios where different environments may require different configurations, allowing for a more streamlined and error-free deployment process. By replacing the metadata value with the environment variable reference, developers can ensure that their deployments remain manageable and consistent with their desired configurations.
