+### Benutzung beliebiger environment Werte
+
+In jedem der Projekte kann man beliebige weitere environments setzen. Dazu muss man in der jeweiligen values.yaml unter env.customList ein name value Paar setzen:
+
+```yaml
+env:
+  customList:
+    - name: Dinge
+      value: true
+    - name: ...
+      value: ...
+```
