Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.

Summary

The ContentViewTest.ps1 does not work as expected when running on either the 2022.2.0 preview or 2021.12.0 Stable extension. The expected output is a second column with some

Found this old post when this feature was introduced. The examples don't work in stable nor preview:
