How can a workspace's environment variable values be modified?

I am trying to setup the Coder Tasks w/ Docker template which has the following variables in the main.tf template file:

variable "anthropic_api_key" {
  type        = string
  description = "Generate one at: https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys"
  sensitive   = true
}
resource "coder_env" "anthropic_api_key" {
  agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
  name     = "CODER_MCP_CLAUDE_API_KEY"
  value    = var.anthropic_api_key
}

variable "anthropic_api_key" {
  type        = string
  description = "Generate one at: https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys"
  sensitive   = true
}
resource "coder_env" "anthropic_api_key" {
  agent_id = coder_agent.main.id
  name     = "CODER_MCP_CLAUDE_API_KEY"
  value    = var.anthropic_api_key
}

I can't find documentation on how to modify the values of the "anthropic_api_key" and/or "CODER_MCP_CLAUDE_API_KEY" environment variable. Is there a way to do this?

I've tried to use the

coder update --parameter

coder update --parameter

command with no luck:

coder update CoderTasksTestWkspc --parameter CODER_MCP_CLAUDE_API_KEY="..."
Workspace is up-to-date.
eronsalling@amplify-dev coder % coder update CoderTasksTestWkspc --parameter anthropic_api_key="..."
Workspace is up-to-date.
eronsalling@amplify-dev coder % coder update CoderTasksTestWkspc --parameter coder_env.anthropic_api_key="..."

coder update CoderTasksTestWkspc --parameter CODER_MCP_CLAUDE_API_KEY="..."
Workspace is up-to-date.
eronsalling@amplify-dev coder % coder update CoderTasksTestWkspc --parameter anthropic_api_key="..."
Workspace is up-to-date.
eronsalling@amplify-dev coder % coder update CoderTasksTestWkspc --parameter coder_env.anthropic_api_key="..."

The key is unchanged when I run

env | grep "CODER_MCP_CLAUDE_API_KEY"

env | grep "CODER_MCP_CLAUDE_API_KEY"

within the workspace terminal.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Solution

variables are shared by each workspace created from the template so you need to modify it in the Template settings
