Variable names can't contain the "=" sign

Just updated to the latest Heroic version, and when I try to set an environment variable WINEDLLOVERRIDE to opengl32.dll=n,b Heroic complains Variable names can't contain the "=" sign. This also occurs when I try to edit a working (!) variable of an existing game entry.

    ],

In my case it's ~/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/config/heroic/GamesConfig/ (bazzite)
