Hey @hkobayash! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have for Atlantis. Let's tackle this together!

The issue you're encountering seems to be a misunderstanding of how the multienv command with output: hide is supposed to work. According to the documentation, the output option in the multienv command affects only the visibility of the message about added environment variables, not their availability. Even if output is set to "hide", the environment variables should still be available for use in subsequent steps ^[1].

However, if you're experiencing that the environment variables are not being set when output: hide is used, it might be a bug or an unexpected behavior in the version of Atlantis you are using. The expected behavior is that the environment variables should be set regardless of the output setting. You might want to check if there are any updates or patches available for your Atlantis version that address this issue.
