Description:
When setting a mysqld attribute (MCM terminology) or configuration parameter (mysqld terminology), MCM enforces the use of the variable format, containing "_".

For instance,

set ndb_cluster_connection_pool:mysqld=12 mycluster;

works, whereas 

set ndb-cluster-connection-pool:mysqld=12 mycluster;

gives en error (as expected).

This should be clearly stated in the documention and shown by the "get" examples. 

At the moment, there seems to be a mix of variables with "-" and "_" in the example on 

https://docsrva.mysql.com/docs-confidential/cluster-manager/en/html/cluster-manager.html#m...

(see the --include-defaults example).

How to repeat:
As above.

Note the following:

*"--include-defaults" is an MCM command option. It must be used with dashes.

*The output shown for "get --include-defaults mycluster;" was copied and pasted from a terminal. The dashes are shown exactly as they are produced in the output of the MCM client.

I did find one example under "set" that used underscores, and replaced these with dashes.
