    If I understand you right, you are trying to load data from some datasource and put it in an xml request. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I think the best way to do this is to right click on the mouse and choose the Get Data option. This should allow you to go through possible options and insert in the script. That script usually looks something like ${}

    ie ${DataSource2#test}

    where DataSource2 is the name of the data source step and test is the name of the column of data.

    Sorry, I don't understand what you want to do. Could you perhaps attach a screenshot?

    Hi, can you please provide some detail on how you did this please?

    I'm using MarkupBuilder in groovy to create some elements, but I don't know how to insert these into an existing request based on Datasource values.

    Thanks
