WARN[0000] The "Dir_Conf_n5105" variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string

i m trying to setup qbittorrent and tried to use both env_file: & environment: inside compose file.

everything seems to be loaded in container from these env files and the environment section but the “Dir_Conf_n5105” variable is not expanded for some reason. i checked with printenv and config commands both. although it shows the variable under environment section inside container, it doesnt show under volumes/sources section.
i am trying to use one env file defining dir locations and TZ for all the containers i am running. this file is called .env.general. another for puid & guid for some of the containers called .env.id. both of them are in parent directory and qbittorrents own .env inside current directory.

Parent dir
/.env.general
/.env.id
/qbittorrent_nox/.env
/qbittorrent_nox/docker-compose.yml

compose.yml

services:
  qbittorrent-nox:

For example: 10000,10001, this will set the process to be in two (secondary) groups 10000 and 10001. By default there is no additional group. Note that you will need to remove --read-only flag (when using Docker) or set read_only: false (when using Docker Compose) as they are incompatible with it.
      #- PGID=1000      # You can change the User ID (UID) and Group ID (GID) of the qbittorrent-nox process by setting environment variables PUID and PGID respectively. By default they are both set to 1000. Note that you will need to remove --read-only flag (when using Docker) or set read_only: false (when using Docker Compose) as they are incompatible with it.

.env.general
## General
TZ=Asia/Kolkata

## Directories
Dir_Conf_n5105=/mnt/local/SSD

is there a way to fix this with mentioning Dir_Conf_n5105 in only .env.general and not in .env?
