---------------------------------

             Summary: Expressions in property values are not expanded anymore
                 Key: LOG4J2-3470
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3470
             Project: Log4j 2
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.17.2
         Environment: Running with / in:

* Spring Boot 2.6.6
* log4j 2.17.2
* Docker / K8s on Amazon EKS
* Java 11
            Reporter: Jan Mosig


In our logging submodule we are using log4j2 properties with value expressions 
to do things, e. g.

{code}
<Property name="thing:Environment" value="${env:ENVIRONMENT}" />
<Property name="thing:Instance" value="${env:HOSTNAME}" />
{code}

However, since we upgraded to 2.17.2, the expressions are not (always) expanded 
anymore, i. e. the log will contain {{environment:${env:ENVIRONMENT}}} rather 
than {{environment:my-fancy-env}}.

The behavior is reproducible, however different applications behave 
differently, i. e. the same configuration yields different results (as in a 
race condition). The behavior is the same for the same config and application.

Our current *workaround* is to downgrade to 2.17.1 for the time being.

Is there maybe a connection to recently introduced raw values? Is this related 
to LOG4J2-3434?
