Hi all,  
Is it possible to have the ability to reference other references in projects?

Actualy we receive this error:

The secret “XXX” cannot reference ${xxx.dev.xxxxx} because it references other secrets.

Hi @ramin!

Welcome to the Doppler Community!

Unfortunately, we don’t currently support nested secret references. This is something we’d like to support in the future though, so it’s on our to-do list!
