Cannot POST or PUT with strings containing {{double curly brackets}}

Expected Behavior

Hello, we're using string replacements in our API, and fields in our JSON data can contain strings with curly brackets.

In the example below, the data looks like this

"name": "{{My First Group}}",

Actual Behavior

Insomnium interprets these as environment variables and blocks me from submitting requests.

What's rendered on screen below:

Reproduction Steps

This is actually a nunjucks issue, that I had come across a few months back when using insomnia. It's super counter-intuitive, but if you wrap the whole variable block in single quotes, and then again in {{}}, it will send the whole thing as a literal. In your case it should look something like: {{'{{My First Group}}'}}

It will complain, and insomnia/m will not render it correctly because it's confused, but it should send in the body correctly.
