Azure Container App is in Preview and currently, not all settings are available in the Portal. You can use the CLI to add env variables:

az containerapp update -n MyContainerapp -g MyResourceGroup -v myenvvar=foo,anotherenvvar=bar

Refer to the CLI doc:

az containerapp --help

What actually worked for me was something like `--set-env-vars "KEY_1=supersecret" "KEY_2=supersecreter"` – KTibow May 21 '22 at 13:49
Thanks KTibow, `--set-env-vars` worked. – Teebu Jun 16 '22 at 00:23

Create and update are slightly different...

az containerapp create ... \
    --env-vars "FOO_BAR_1=secretref:foo-bar-1" "FOO_BAR_2=$FOO_BAR_2"

and

az containerapp update ... \
    --set-env-vars "FOO_BAR_2=$FOO_BAR_2"
