Problem

The original type of the value in the secret-values.yaml is not preserved after encrypting (or editing) the file. For example yaml specification allow to define several scalar types: boolean, integer, float, string, null, timestamp or binary.

Current secrets implementation in the werf forces original value to be either converted to string or null.

Solution (if you have one)

Save original yaml scalar type to the encoded value string in encryption procedure. Restore original yaml scalar type in decryption procedure.

For example SOPS editor keeps original value type.
