I created a Buy Now button and in step 3 checked the box "Add Advanced Variables" and added the following text to the box:

 

gls_id=member

 

and selected "save".   I then fetched the button HTML code and got the below code with no evidence that the gls_id variable was created.  What have I done wrong?  Shouldn't I see the variable in the generated code looking something like 

 

<input type="hidden" name="gls_id" value="member"> 

 

Generated HTML code follows:

 

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="G2T54GALKVKC8">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Membership Type">Membership Type</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0">
<option value="Limited Income">Limited Income $5.00 USD</option>
<option value="Individual">Individual $12.00 USD</option>

<option value="Supported">Supported $30.00 USD</option>
<option value="Benefactor">Benefactor $75.00 USD</option>
<option value="Life">Life $300.00 USD</option>
</select> </td></tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
