Link to affected document

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/update-list?view=powershell-7.2&viewFallbackFrom=powershe

Description of the documentation error

This is a small item, but Format-List is listed as a related link, and I don't think it is related. Update-List is for working with collections, a specific .NET class. Format-List is merely a way of presenting output in a text list format. Cosmetically, they may look the same, but they are unrelated. I wouldn't want people confused or misled by the list noun.

Suggested fix

Remove the Format-List related link.
