# Request: Convert existing project environment variables to Shared

It would be really nice and would have saved me lots of time if there was a way to convert a project's environment variables into shared ones. We just introduced turborepo into the mix and had to re-create all of our environment variables in a new project. And now the original project has a duplicate version of the shared one, so I have to remove them and use the shared one instead (to reduce risk of having different values). Just an idea for a Quality of Life improvement! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, Stephen! I shared this internally :slight_smile:

Environment Variable "MONGO_URI" references Secret "MONGO_URI", which does not exist.

I have been having this issue for every commit i make, despite having the secret well provided in my environment variable
