 So, in the case that you need to load values that way, you need to use a properties file.
 
 Using the multi YAML document syntax in profile-specific YAML files can lead to unexpected behavior.
-For example, consider the following config in a file called `application-dev.yml`, with the `dev` profile being active:

-In the example above, profile negation and profile expressions will not behave as expected.
-We recommend that you don't combine profile-specific YAML files and multiple YAML documents and stick to using only one of them.
+If you run the application with the arguments `--spring.profiles.active=dev" you might expect `security.user.password` to be set to "`secret`", but this is not the case.
+
+The nested document will be filtered because the main file is named `application-dev.yml`.
+It is already considered to be profile-specific, and nested documents will be ignored.
