Description:
The Mgr parameter does not match the description in the official MySQL document!

MySQL8.0.20 descriptions:
This system variable should have the same value on all group members. The value of this system variable can be changed while Group Replication is running. The change takes effect on each group member after you stop and restart Group Replication on the member. During this process, the value of the system variable is permitted to differ between group members, but message delivery will not have the same efficiency on all members.

How to repeat:
mysql> set global group_replication_communication_max_message_size=524288000;
ERROR 3093 (HY000): The communication_max_message_size option cannot be set while Group Replication is running

Hello jiaona chen,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
Verified as described with 8.0.21 build.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've changed to:

group_replication_communication_max_message_size

This system variable should have the same value on all group members. You cannot change the value of this system variable while Group Replication is running. You must stop Group Replication, change the value of the system variable, then restart Group Replication, on each of the group members. During this process, the value of the system variable is permitted to differ between group members, but some transactions on group members might be rolled back.
