Unknown global parameter 'substitute_variables'.

I updated MaxScale to 2.3.2 and now I get the following errors:

===> Starting Application

It looks like the 'substitute_variables' parameter is not supported anymore?

The same config file worked with 2.2.19

Answer Answered by Johan Wikman in this comment.

There has been a regression, the parameter should be supported.
