what is the difference between name and property for backend vault?

[winkee01]

my ExternalSecret was created successfully, but how can I know the key:value that pulled from vault? I checked the Secret object that was created, but there is no data block in it.

for test, the kv value I saved in vault is alex:123

my external-secret.yaml is defined like this:

apiVersion: "kubernetes-client.io/v1"
kind: ExternalSecret
metadata:
  name: hello-vault-service
  namespace: default
spec:
  backendType: vault
  vaultMountPoint: kubernetes
  vaultRole: external-secrets-role
  kvVersion: 2
  data:
    - name: alex
      key: secret/data/hello-service/credentials
      property: alex

here is the secret after above process succeed, there is no data block in it!

k get secrets  hello-vault-service -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2021-12-31T04:48:25Z"
  name: hello-vault-service
  namespace: default
  ownerReferences:
  - apiVersion: kubernetes-client.io/v1
    controller: true
    kind: ExternalSecret
    name: hello-vault-service
    uid: 34ef20cd-4748-4439-adff-af1861e55430
  resourceVersion: "5710990"
  uid: 9ef08144-09f7-4fec-a82e-6fae5f4c3446
