Description

A configuration like the below has stopped working since 2.17.0. The variables that originate from <Properties> are not resolved to their actual values.

<Property name="logs_dir">$${env:LOGS_DIRECTORY}</Property> 

<RollingFile name="Rolling-${ctx:logFile}" fileName="${logs_dir}/${ctx:logFile}"
