bug? Importing configuration in v3.7 doesn't import variables properly

[Robert Hamon]

I import a config in v3.7 with a static variables and it seem to not be taken into account.
Relevant part of the config:  "variables":[["my_custom_var","",0,0,"1",0]]
It shows up in the UI but in the logs I keep seeing warnings like:
Jul 28 18:01:10 mistserver01 MistController[6140]: [2025-07-28 18:01:10] MistController (6143) WARN: Could not find a variable with name "my_custom_var"
Jul 28 18:01:10  mistserver01 MistController[6140]: [2025-07-28 18:01:10] MistController (6143) ERROR: Unable to substitute custom variables, as memory page /MstVars failed to open

If I edit the variable in the UI and save, then the warnings go away.

Actually doesn't show up in the UI until a restart, then the above warning appear and another restart or edit of the var clears it up.

Hey Robert,

Glad the restart worked, but we also found out about some wrong assumptions in the way we save our variables recently. So chances are you're affected by that.

So we'll be updating those in the coming version. Any saved variables should get parsed and converted to the new format with the next patch, but I'll recommend making a backup of your current config or saving the difficult to type parts into a config before updating the next version just in case.

Best,
