Application Error importing Postman environment with unsupported characters in names

[Terrance]

Expected Behavior

Imports complete successfully, substituting variable names if needed to conform to Insomnia's own variable name limitations.

Actual Behavior

Application Error

Failed to render. Please report to our Github issues Field names cannot contain a .

Reproduction Steps

1. Go to Preferences > Data > Import
2. Select Test.postman_environment.json (containing a single variable called Variable.Name) > Scan
3. Confirm import of 1 environment > Import

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the issue tracker for this problem.

Additional Information

Postman collections referencing invalid variable names are imported without any issues (the variables are just flagged as undefined, and of course I can't define variables matching those names as the environment editor blocks the use of .).

This seems a problem related with nedb https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb/issues/477

Anyone trying to import a postman collection: As a workaround replace variables you used, like e.g. for me "logger.name" in the exported collection json file with something supported using the search and replace function of the text editor of your choice, like e.g. "logger_name"
