    Hi,

    If your xml looks like

    <xml>
    <quantity> 3 </quantity>
    <item> Iphone 5 </item>
    </xml>

    def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils( context );
    def url = context.expand( '${#Project#url}' ) //define the external xml file URL d://sample.xml in project properties

    String s1= new File("${url}").text
    def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(s1);

    def item1 = holder.getNodeValue("//quantity")
    propTestStep = context.testCase.getTestStepByName("Pro") //get the properties step name, here the property step name is Pro
    propTestStep.setPropertyValue("quantity", item1)

    for using this quantity in the request, simply use ${Pro#quantity} in the request
