Normal Description of problem:
The 1.8 docs (vpn required) provides some example snippets that show how the title/subtitle can use variable substitution to insert the firstname or display name of a user entity. This syntax conflicts with Helm because it gets interpreted as template variables and fails with the following error on deployment:
