Hi Nivedipa, I'm also interested in this feature. From the documentation you provided you can only pass environment variables to customize existing properties but there is no option to add new properties.

Based on the schema https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/teams/v1.19/MicrosoftTeams.schema.json

it doesn't seem to be possible to add new properties to the JSON file because of this "additionalProperties": false

are there any other workarounds or currently we can't add new properties to the Manifest?

Thanks,

Jose Antonio
