Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Windows Terminal Preview v0.7.3451.0
Powershell: 7.0.0-rc.1

Steps to reproduce

Create a second entry with
source": "Windows.Terminal.PowershellCore"
and a different GUID.

Expected behavior

  • It is possible to have one or endless more powershell core profiles in the configuration
  • They show up in the GUI
  • they can be selected as defaultProfile

Actual behavior

  • After starting the terminal, no second entry will show up.
  • Using the GUI of the second entry shows the message, that the GUID is not found.

Additional information

  • Modifying the first entry, like changing the name, is correctly reflected within the GUI.
  • Duplicating the powershell.exe (old one) profile is possible and works as expected
  • Creating a profile that calls pwsh.exe directly is also possible and works as expected
