  step 5.
  

Local fix

• the workaround is to create another required parameter for the
  path "/world" and save it. If you go back to the path edit
  page, you should see the global path param defined (para1 in
  this case) along with the newly defined parameter. You can
  delete the newly created parameter and save and will be able to
  see `para1` parameter in future edits.
  

Problem summary

• Users cannot add user parameter as a path parameter.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is delivered in 2018.4.1.16 and v10.0.2.0 / v10.0.1.3.
  

Temporary fix
