Hi,

Create a testCase level property "url" or any other named variable,
Add a groovy script teststep,

def response = context.expand( '${Xml - Request 1#Response#$.href}' )
log.info response

response = response.replaceAll( "\\{\\?page,size,sort,name,status\\}", "" )

testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue( "url", response )


Transfer the endpoint from the property to request. You can also make it dynamic with substring or regex.
