Use $_ENV in the new Cache Time setting

I’m trying to use environment variable with the new redis cache feature on api action.

I have a simple action that return a database query with multiple records and I want to cache this. When I put 10 in the ‘Cache Time’ setting and call the api the cache is working and during 10 seconds the api return from the cache.

If I want to move this value (10) to docker compose environment section to handle different cache time between dev / staging / production and use $_ENV in the api setting like this:

app/api/translations.json:

{
  "settings": {
    "options": {
      "ttl": "{{$_ENV.TRANSLATIONS_CACHE_TIME.toNumber()}}"
    }
  },
  ...
}

No error is shown but the cache feature doesn’t work after that, any idea ?

At this moment all settings are static, will see if it is possible to make them dynamic.

Thanks for your answer. It would be awesome if the settings could be dynamic so I can set the cache time to 86400 (one day) in production for example but have a lower setting for development where cache is more a pain than a gain.
