Is there a way to use a variable in soapui

This might help (for simple variable/property use): http://www.soapui.org/Scripting-Propert ... nsion.html

Got a little confused by the article

So, If I want to use variables in the following request, how do i do that? -

{

"eventType": "check",
"emailAddress": "email@emailtesting.com",
"source": "mobile",
"customerSegment": "gold",
"custId": "1111111111"
}

depends where "do the variables belong" - you choose a scope eg. custId (i believe it is sth like customerID) in TestCase scope, if you need the custId visible in all teststeps

Lets have the example on TestCase scope - you go to Custom Properties tab in soapui (left bottom corner), create there a property (variable) you need = "custId" with value "1111". Then this variable is accessible in all testSteps:

{

"eventType": "check",
"emailAddress": "email@emailtesting.com",
"source": "mobile",
"customerSegment": "gold",
"custId": "${#TestCase#custId}" [-> will expand to 1111]
}

Getting closer here

I am in the box that says Workspace properties at the bottom left corner, how do I add a new property? I dont see a way to do that. What am i missing?

I was at the wrong level. Thanks for your help! this worked

And just in case this helps others - you can set this up at Project, TestSuite, TestCase levels like this -

"emailAddress": "${#Project#emailAddress}", for Project

"emailAddress": "${#TestSuite#emailAddress}", for TestSuite

"emailAddress": "${#TestCase#emailAddress}", for TestCase
