How to trigger to re-creation of deployment without any command

Apologies in advance, I am quite new to Kubernetes, we have some Helm charts that we use to implement monitoring stacks to various environments using Kubernetes. I am updating the helm charts versions and one version, in particular, requires deployment to be re-created.

I tried running

kubectl delete deployment <deploymentname>

and then implementing the update which works but I need a way to trigger deployment creation from values.yaml file so that it triggers in all of the environments we have when I run the pipeline instead of me going to all of them manually and deleting deployments beforehand.

I also tried adding an annotation like

annotations:
  kubectl.kubernetes.io/restartedAt:

but that didn't work.

The error I am getting :

13:40:55  2023-02-22 13:40:55,354 - ERROR  -
Command 'kubectl --kubeconfig=/tmp/tmpxv384dq8 apply --validate=False
-f /tmp/tmp9ku4lg20' failed with: The Deployment "pgw-prometheus-pushgateway" 
is invalid: spec.selector: Invalid value:
v1.LabelSelector{MatchLabels:map[string]string{"app.kubernetes.io/instance":"pgw",
"app.kubernetes.io/name":"prometheus-pushgateway"},
MatchExpressions:[]v1.LabelSelectorRequirement(nil)}: field is immutable

If I understand correctly, you have a number of Kubernetes applications managed via Helm Charts and you want one of them to be "forced" restarted.

I guess this is your request, because it happens that if there are no "significant" changes to the values.yaml of your application, the Helm Upgrade command doesn’t trigger the re-deploy/deploy of the new version.

To make sure that the reboot occurs at each Upgrade command, you can modify the Deployment template by adding:

     annotations:
         rollme: {{ randAlphaNum 5 | quote }}

So basically the solution I found was overriding the deployment name.
I added fullnameOverride value to values yaml file (this is provided in the helm charts values) and changed the name slightly from the previous and that deleted the old deployment and created the new one without me doing kubectl delete deploy beforehand.
