KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

When we display the column "Language" in the User list and want to change it: in the dropdown box, the script appears "javascript:'System (' + new I18nUtils().getUserLanguage() + ')' instead of the System language default. See screenshot in attachment.

This issue is caused by List v3 only, not reproducible in List v2.

Steps to Reproduce

Pre-req: Enable List v3 plugin

1) Go to the sys_user table
2) Add the "Language" column
3) Edit the Language and click on dropdown

Expected - You should see the value of what the default choice is for the instance

Actual - The system is displaying the code verbatim.
