It looks like it’s fine using the metadata editor only as **test** is quoted.

If you are in Source mode with

---
lists: **test**
---

and switch to Live preview, the Failed to open "" error shows up.

Yeah, I forgot to mention I mostly use Live Preview.
Thanks for the demo. I didn’t know you can still open it in another mode.
