    Description

      Observed

      I am unable to format text in the system-provided "Environment" field. As external documentation explains, the default "Environment" field is unformatted by default.

      Expected

      However, it would be significantly more useful it were formatted, because it would permit reporters to include environment YAML from kinfo on the KDE Plasma 6 DE, or the undermentioned on on Windows (11):

      Unable to find source-code formatter for language: powershell. Available languages are: actionscript, ada, applescript, bash, c, c#, c++, cpp, css, erlang, go, groovy, haskell, html, java, javascript, js, json, lua, none, nyan, objc, perl, php, python, r, rainbow, ruby, scala, sh, sql, swift, visualbasic, xml, yaml
      Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" | Format-List
      

      Solution

      This official explanation provided in response to a user previously requesting this explains how the field can be replaced with a custom one, which should include formatted text.

      Reproduction

      Enter formatted text in the environment field. As an example from another bug:
