I've read only about setting default_attributes or override in a role, how do I set a 'normal' attribute?

BTW, what if I am setting multiple attributes, do I just wrap it in [ .. ] ? i.e.

default_attributes [

   "mysql" => {},

   "abc" => { }

]

Be aware of attribute precedence.

Default attributes are really for when nothing else is provided.
You're trying to set a specific value, so I recommend using a normal
attribute.
