At least twice in our documentation [1][2] we recommend the user makes an annotation like this:

//    The erroneous syntax we recommend

annotations:
che.eclipse.org/automount-workspace-secret: true

//  The error that results

Doing so will result in an error when the user tries to apply the change:

error: unable to decode "secret.yaml": resource.metadataOnlyObject.ObjectMeta: v1.ObjectMeta.Annotations: ReadString: expects " or n, but found t, error found in #10 byte of ...|-secret":true

The user reports this version works better:

// The syntax that seems to work

annotations:
che.eclipse.org/automount-workspace-secret: "true"

Please find out if this error is in the documentation, configuration of the annotation, etc. and make necessary corrections.  Thank you!
