"Parent": {
"ChildOne": "C1 from secrets.json",
"ChildTwo": "C2 from secrets.json"

According to Microsoft (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/waws/2018/06/12/asp-net-core-settings-for-azure-app-service/), if an app using this config was deployed to an AppService in Azure, the config could be overwritten by creating Application settings in Azure in the style Parent:ChildOne / Parent:ChildTwo. To be clear: using colons to target a specific piece of config.

When you hover over the error you see this message: This field can only contain letters, numbers (0-9), periods ("."), and underscores ("_"). Using . does not work alas.
