    additionalAnnotations:
      - name: some.cert-manager.io/custom-fields
        value: |
          [{ "Name": "field1", "Value": "value1" },{ "Name": "field2", "Value": "value2" }]
      - name: another.cert-manager.io/custom-field2

Hi @jrhoward. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a cert-manager member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Pull Request Overview

Fix chart templating for passing cert-manager additionalAnnotations via CLI flags so values with commas are handled.

• Wraps certain flag strings in extra quotes within the template
• Applies the change to both certificate-request and istiod-cert annotation flags

[Copilot]

Adding inner quotes via printf ""%s=%s"" and then piping to quote will produce a literal argument that starts and ends with a double-quote, e.g. ""--certificate-request-additional-annotations=..."" in argv. Kubernetes does not invoke a shell for container args, so these quotes are not stripped and become part of the flag string, which can break flag parsing. If the intent is to quote only the value to preserve commas, quote the value portion instead of the entire flag, for example:

Suggested change

	- {{ printf "\"%s=%s\"" "--certificate-request-additional-annotations" ( join "," $annotations ) | quote -}}
	- --certificate-request-additional-annotations="{{ join "," $annotations }}"

[Copilot]

Same double-quoting issue as above; this will pass a literal string beginning and ending with a quote to the process. Prefer quoting the value portion only, or revert if literal quotes are not required. For example:

• {{ printf "%s=%s" "--istiod-cert-additional-annotations" ( printf ""%s"" ( join "," $annotationList ) ) | quote -}}

Suggested change

	- {{ printf "\"%s=%s\"" "--istiod-cert-additional-annotations" ( join "," $annotationList ) | quote -}}
	- {{ printf "%s=%s" "--istiod-cert-additional-annotations" ( join "," $annotationList ) | quote -}}
