Apparently this is the content of the values string field which is responsible of such errors. Here is another example

We can reproduce the issue using the following test

I created a simple testcase showing where the issue occurs and which is releated to a wrong indentation

  @Test
  void testMultilinesScript() {
    var bashScript = """
       /bin/sh
       helm repo add kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
       helm repo update
       helm install nginx-ingress ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx \
          --version 4.12.2 \
          --namespace ingress-nginx \
          --create-namespace \
          -f ingress.enabled=true
    """;

    var template = """
        spec:
          template:
            spec:
              containers:
                - name: {s.name}
                  image: {s.image}
                  command:
                  - /bin/sh
                  - -c
                  - |
                    {s.script}
        """;

    Map<String, Map<?, ?>> data = new HashMap<>();

    Map values = new HashMap();
    values.put("name", "helm-install");
    values.put("image", "dtzar/helm-kubectl");
    values.put("script", bashScript);
    data.put("s", values);

    final Engine engine = Engine.builder().addDefaults()
        .build();
    Template parsedTemplate = engine.parse(template);
    var result = parsedTemplate.data(data).render();
    System.out.println(result);

This will produce the following YAML having a wrong indentation
