STMCubeIDE v1.16.1 UI is Trimming Double Quotes when Adding Symbols to Project

[davef]

 Issue occurs in this build: 

To reproduce: 

• In an STM32MCU project right click properties
• Navigate to C/C++ General -> Paths And Symbols
• Select the Symbols Tab
• Add a new Symbol and in the value field, reference an environment variable inside quotes e.g. "${PATH}" 
• 

   

• Click save and the trailing double quote is removed
• 

 

The workaround is to edit the symbols elsewhere see below noting where I added the extra quote:

Hello @davef and welcome to the ST Community.

I'm sending this for internal investigation, and I will be back to you as soon as I have a clear answer.

Best Regards.

Thank you. Another thing I noticed is that system environment variables only seem to be refreshed on opening the workspace, is there a way to refresh the cached environment variables when running a pre compile action or script?
