can we add doc_string from step definition(.java) instead of feature file?

We have a requirement in our Java based project to attach some runtime json/text data in doc string, which should be displayed in test report. do we have feature enabled? can you share some examples?

Example:
public void addDocString(Step step){
step.setDocString("text", "Some example doc string text", 1)
}
Cucumber-JVM
doc_string
DocString

    This is currently not possible. It's not something we're likely to add support for either.

      I got the impression this wasn't a feature request but rather a "How do I do x" disguised as one.

      To attach data

      package io.cucumber.examples.java;

      import io.cucumber.java.Before;
      import io.cucumber.java.Scenario;
      import io.cucumber.java.en.Given;

      public class RpnCalculatorSteps {

          private Scenario scenario;

          @Before
          public void after(Scenario scenario) {
              this.scenario = scenario;
          }
          
          @Given("I log some data")
          public void log_some_data(){
              scenario.attach("{hello:\"World\"}", "application/json", "hell-world.json");
          }
      }

       

      This then shows up in the report as:

      Given I log some data
      {hello:"World"}
