pkg_edit.php shows eval erros while tries to fetch a select_source type field that has an empty source

For example, If there is no limiters created by syadmin, config.xml has a default value < dnshaper >< /dnshaper >

if I have a field type "select_source" with < source >< ![CDATA[$config['dnshaper']['queue']]] >< /source >, the eval code under pkg_edit.php will return parse and exception errors with php 7.2.
