Ah I see now, this was actually an error while updating things for 1.14.0 release. Usually we set it like this, but it was missed this time.
I have a PR here and will merge it today: https://github.com/percona/percona-helm-charts/pull/307
You have some interesting ideas for fixes, but for now let’s not complicate so we will just fix the version and in the future if this will not work we will think about other fixes.
Thank you very much for quick response!

Hello @Tomislav Plavcic
We have been discussing an issue internally and believe that the optimal solution would involve incrementing the version numbers for various components such as PXC, PMM, ProxySQL, HAProxy, etc., each time a new chart version is released. For instance, in the case of PXC, the currently available versions are as follows:
"8.0.25-15.1": {
"imagePath": "percona/percona-xtradb-cluster:8.0.25-15.1",
"imageHash": "529e979c86442429e6feabef9a2d9fc362f4626146f208fbfac704e145a492dd",
"imageHashArm64": "",
"status": "available",
"critical": false
},
"8.0.29-21.1": {
"imagePath": "percona/percona-xtradb-cluster:8.0.29-21.1",
"imageHash": "96c6bb8189280aeb773e74ed46aa41c01781b62947ed70c89efeb9f41c367ee7",
"imageHashArm64": "",
"status": "available",
"critical": false
},
"8.0.31-23.2": {
"imagePath": "percona/percona-xtradb-cluster:8.0.31-23.2",
"imageHash": "e47110307e9733fbcc55e5587652e41bbcf794063b021533d5e705062da97927",
"imageHashArm64": "",
"status": "available",
"critical": false
},
"8.0.32-24.2": {
"imagePath": "percona/percona-xtradb-cluster:8.0.32-24.2",
"imageHash": "1f978ab8912e1b5fc66570529cb7e7a4ec6a38adbfce1ece78159b0fcfa7d47a",
"imageHashArm64": "",
"status": "available",
"critical": false
},
"8.0.35-27.1": {
"imagePath": "percona/percona-xtradb-cluster:8.0.35-27.1",
"imageHash": "1ef24953591ef1c1ce39576843d5615d4060fd09458c7a39ebc3e2eda7ef486b",
"imageHashArm64": "",
"status": "recommended",
"critical": false
}However, it seems that the default version is set to 8.0.32-24.2, which might indicate that it was not updated to the latest recommended version, 8.0.35-27.1. In Helm, I am looking for options to address this issue, but it appears to be quite complex. One potential solution might involve using a postrender option to retrieve the version from the PXC deployment.
After reviewing the situation, I believe that the best course of action would be to automatically set the default version in the Helm configuration to the latest available version
If automatic upgrade is enabled on each helm chart upgrade it tries to downgrade the database: https://forums.percona.com/t/using-pxc-db-helm-chart-with-smartupdate/29193
We need to see if it is possible to fix this somehow.
