    Would you be able to use a groovy assertion inside of the request and then pass/fail the step if the criteria is met? If you can do that you could have a seperate groovy script to check if the request failed then skip to the data source loop step.

     

    def tStep = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Test step 1")
def result = tStep.getAssertionList()
// if you have more than one assertion result.size() will get the assertion count
if (result[0].status.toString() == "FAIL"){
	testRunner.gotoStepByName("DataSource Loop")
	}

    If you are not able to run the groovy script as a request assertion you could disable all the test steps that should run only if the request passed. You can then use a groovy script to run the disabled test steps.

    def property1 = testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("step 1").getPropertyValue("property1")
//if the assertion failed the script ends and the test steps will not be run
assert property1 == 0
testRunner.runTestStepByName("Test step 2")
testRunner.runTestStepByName("Test step 3")
