+This PR provides a way to set extra environmental variables through the downward API.
+Why?
+We manage mutiple clusters where the differences between helm values boils down to the `authPath` which is set to a path including the cluster unique ID.
+Each deployment has the cluster ID information provided by ArgoCD via the `argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id` annotation. 
+Leveraging the downward API we can programmatically set the `authPath` for all clusters without the need for a cluster specific value file.
+
+Example:
+Generate the injector deployment:
+```
+helm template       --show-only templates/injector-deployment.yaml --set 'injector.annotations.argocd\.argoproj\.io/tracking-id=cluster-1234'      --set "injector.extraEnvironmentVarsFieldPath.CLUSTER_ID=metadata.annotations['argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id']" --set 'injector.authPath=/auth/Kubernetes/$(CLUSTER_ID)' .
+```
+
+This will produce the yaml:
+```
+...
+  template:
+    metadata:
+      labels:
+        app.kubernetes.io/name: vault-agent-injector
+        app.kubernetes.io/instance: release-name
+        component: webhook
+      annotations:
+        argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id: cluster-1234
+...
+          env:
+            
+            - name: "CLUSTER_ID"
+              valueFrom:
+                fieldRef:
+                  fieldPath: metadata.annotations['argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id']
+...
+            - name: AGENT_INJECT_VAULT_AUTH_PATH
+              value: /auth/Kubernetes/$(CLUSTER_ID)
+```
+
+The resulting env in the running pod shows:
+```
+CLUSTER_ID=cluster-1234
+AGENT_INJECT_VAULT_AUTH_PATH=/auth/Kubernetes/cluster-1234
+```
+
+This configuration is valid for any cluster removing the need for cluster specific values
