I'm trying to configure a plugin using added system environment variables, but after setting and restarting the system multiple times the environment variables are not resolving in the choices, e.g, ${env.MY_NEW_PATH}

so of course the build is breaking since it can't resolve it.

All other pre-existing variables seem to be found, (at least those added within the last ~2 weeks) but these newly added guys can't.

I've verified that they are recognized under both git bash and cmd shell environments. 

Please help.
