    Header value is a list type. You are putting a string.

    Here is an example code snippet, which adds the headers to the given request based on step name.

     

    Issue #1:

    ${#userDS#usertype} -- this can't directly be used. Instead use context.expand('${#userDS#usertype}')

    Similarly other instances in your script.

     

     

    Also another improvemement in the code is you can use a list to check instead of repeating the code for three times.

     

     

    def userTypesLookup = ['X', 'Y', 'Z']
if (userTypesLookup.contains(context.expand('${#userDS#usertype}'))) {

     //do the stuff

}
