 The ConfigValues resource must meet the following requirements:
 * Must be valid YAML.
 * Must list all configuration items that are defined in the corresponding Config resource in the release, except any items with the [`hidden`](/reference/custom-resource-config#hidden) or [`readonly`](/reference/custom-resource-config#readonly) properties set to true.
-* For each configuration item in the Config resource that has a default value set, the ConfigValues must also list the default in the `default` property. Defaults are not automatically merged from the Config resource during installation.
-* For any configuration items of type [`password`](/reference/custom-resource-config#password), set the password in plain text in a `valuePlainText` property rather than in the `value` property. For example, `valuePlainText: somesecretvalue`. Values set in `valuePlainText` are encrypted during installation.
-* All values must be strings. For booleans or integers, use quotes (for example, `value: "1"`, `value: "0"`, or `value: "443"`).
+* It is not necessary to set a `value` for each configuration item in the ConfigValues, unless the item is [`required`](/reference/custom-resource-config#required) and has no [`default`](/reference/custom-resource-config#default) set.
