I cannot get the server template to pick up a namespace outside of the default namespace for server or any of the subs for that product. I do get admintools to pick up a different namespace. Is this possible? Just to clarify this is where the chart would install the microservices on Kubernetes not the application namespace.

Hi Tony, are you using the [temporalio/helm-charts](https://github.com/temporalio/helm-charts)? If so, are you passing the `--namespace` flag to the `helm install` command?
