k8ssandra-operator Chart doesn't disbale cert-manager

[QuinnBast]

What happened?

When deploying the k8ssandra operator, it errors that the cass-operator webhooks require cert-manager to be installed. I don't have cert-manager, but I am unable to configure the k8ssandra operator chart to disable the cert-manager checks.

I have a values.yaml of:

cass-operator:
  admissionWebhooks:
    enabled: false

And installing the cluster with:

helm upgrade --install k8ssandra-operator k8ssandra/k8ssandra-operator --values k8ssandra.yaml --version 1.17.0 -n k8ssandra --create-namespace

Output is:

$ helm upgrade --install k8ssandra-operator k8ssandra/k8ssandra-operator --values k8ssandra.yaml --version 1.17.0 -n k8ssandra --create-namespace
Release "k8ssandra-operator" does not exist. Installing it now.
