JMeter Master CommandLine Run is not passing the updated values from -J flag to the slaves

I have a single master and 5 slave agents. I am starting my test using the command line option from the master by specifying the slave machines using the -R option. 

$JMETER_HOME/current/bin/jmeter -n -t test.jmx -R host1,host2  -l testresult.jtl -Jthreads=$THREADS -Jrampup=$RAMPUP -Jtestduration=$TESTDURATION -JENV=$ENV -e -o ./testreport

I see that the new values that are passed in the command line using the -J switch are not getting applied when the test plan is transferred to the slave machines. Slaves are using only the hardcoded values in the JMX.

Did you define the properties in the jmx with the _P function? – Ray Oei
Yes. I did. All the values that are used in -J have been defined inside the JMX using the _P function – Selva

According to Jmeter Doc on Overriding Properties Via The Command Line

-J[prop_name]=[value]
defines a local JMeter property.
-G[prop_name]=[value]
defines a JMeter property to be sent to all remote servers.

So, you need to use -G flag for Jmeter property to be sent to all remote servers.
