Skaffold setValues is getting missing helm values - skaffold

Question

Skaffold setValues is getting missing helm values.
Instead of setValues, when I save the relevant values in the values.yml file and use valuesFiles, there is no problem and the rendering is successful.
I guess setValues doesn't recognize nested arrays. Please review the example below.
Why the ingress.tls[0].hosts doesn't exist?

This was fixed recently via the PR here:
https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold/pull/8152
This is currently in skaffold in main and will be available in the v2.1.0 Skaffold release (to be released 12/7/2022) and onward
EDIT: v2.1.0 release is delayed w/ some of the maintainers on holiday. Currently planned to be available late Dec or early Jan
EDIT #2: v2.1.0 is out now (1/23/2023)
