Best Practices for Managing Environment Variables Across Multiple Projects?

Hey everyone!

I am fairly new to Doppler and loving how it simplifies secrets management. I am currently managing environment variables for 4 different projects (Node.js and Python mix)…, and I am wondering how others handle shared secrets or configs that overlap between projects.

Do you recommend creating a separate config for shared values or using Doppler’s project duplication feature and tweaking from there: ??

Also, how do you typically organize dev/staging/prod environments to avoid accidental overwrites: ??

Would really appreciate hearing from folks who have been using Doppler in production for a while. Any tips, workflows, or even mistakes to avoid would be super helpful !! I have also gone through this thread https://community.doppler.com/t/multi-project-doppler-setup-sap-fico-course-in-mumbai but still need some more help.

Thanks in advance !!
