This isn't the format of the yaml

public

thor:
  variables:
    description: "God of Thunder"
  children:
    production:
      variables:
        BASE_URL: "thor.com"
    test:
      children:
        staging:
          variables:
            BASE_URL: "staging.thor.com"
        local:
          variables:
            BASE_URL: "localhost:8080"
odin:
  variables:
    description: "The Allfather"
  children:
    production:
      variables:
        BASE_URL: "odin.com"
    test:
      children:
        staging:
          variables:
            BASE_URL: "staging.odin.com"
        local:
          variables:
            BASE_URL: "localhost:8080"

private

thor:
  children:
    test:
      variables:
        PASSWORD: "hunter2"

And then in the env selection window, these envs would be available:

thor
thor.production
thor.test
thor.test.staging
thor.test.local
thor
odin.production
odin.test
odin.test.staging
odin.test.local

Two entirely separate trees of env hierarchies in one profile.

This is not how profiles should be used. staging, production and local should all be in the default profile. You'll have to ask nikdim about what profiles are for because its actually really difficult to envision a use case for them given just how flexible the system is even only using the default profile
