Official CH changelog text

Add protection for named collections' fields from being overridden. This feature introduces new settings and syntax to prevent unauthorized modifications to sensitive fields within named collections.

Why it matters

Prevent unauthorized access to secrets by disallowing malicious overrides. The feature addresses security concerns where malicious users might override fields in named collections to obtain secret information, thereby enhancing data protection.

How to use it

Users can enable this feature by configuring the new settings dedicated to protecting named collection fields. Use the newly introduced syntax to mark fields within named collections as protected, which then disallows overriding those fields during runtime or configuration updates.
