Azure App Service Connection String Not Working

Question

I am working on an asp.net core web api project and its hosted on azure app service. What I'm trying is to put my cosmos db connection string in app service connection string. I added a document db type connection string but when I'm calling it, it wont get read.

I tried this,

CosmosDBAccountPrimaryKey = _configuration.GetConnectionString("DOCDBCONNSTR_COSMOSDBCONNSTR");

this also,

CosmosDBAccountPrimaryKey = _configuration.GetConnectionString("COSMOSDBCONNSTR");

But none worked. For just checking i tried to put the connection string in app setting variables and tried this,

CosmosDBAccountPrimaryKey = _configuration["COSMOSDBCONNSTR"];

This worked but when I'm calling from connection string, its not working.

You need to add .AddEnvironmentVariables and retrieve the key. — Harshitha Veeramalla

I just changed the connection string type to custom and it worked before it was set to document — wasi hyder

The issue was Type of connection string when creating it in app service. I was setting its type to Document DB which was not working. But when I set it up to Custom then it started working
