Hmmm.. I've been using variables in rulesets for years and it's always worked fine.

But you are right, I removed the variable from the ruleset and the error went away.

I'll downgrade back to 4.79.11 as this is a bug in 4.80.7 (it is a beta afterall). 4.80.11 should be able to support variables in rulesets like all previous versions, otherwise admins are changing 10 times more files if things need modification in the future.

How do I report this bug?

Michael.
