I'd say this is one of the best tricks I've learned about Helm recently! For me, one of the most annoying things in Helm was that it's hard to handle nullable nested values!
For example, if you want to get the value of a nested key like .Values.foo.bar.baz, and if .Values.foo.bar is optional, you need to make sure that bar is not nil otherwise, Helm will throw an error.
Recently I just learned that you can use this syntax to call nested values even if their parent is nil!
{{ $bazValue := (((.Values.foo).bar).baz) }}
This way it doesn't matter if .Values.foo.bar is not defined or not, and you don't need to check the whole chain just to get the nested value.
