@krancour could you please confirm that helm charts from remote repositories are not supported right now?
I can't use Kargo Render for configurations like this for example.

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
spec:
  sources:
  - repoURL: 'https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts'
    chart: prometheus
    targetRevision: 15.7.1
    helm:
      valueFiles:
      - $values/charts/prometheus/values.yaml
  - repoURL: 'https://git.example.com/org/value-files.git'
    targetRevision: dev
    ref: values

@daftping I assume you're trying to work around the issue from our other recent thread?

akuity/kargo#1398

So your goal is to use a single source application (as a replacement for the one above) where the chart isn't actually in the git repo, and then use Kargo Render to combine the remote chart with a values file from the git repo. Have I got that right?

I'd like Kargo Render to be able to do something like that, but it cannot yet.

I was trying to check Kargo render capabilities and see how it applies to our setup. Thank you for the clarification and quick response.
