    Hi,

     

    Each DataSource step has at least 1 property. 

     

     

    In order to reference that property you can use the syntax:

     

    ${DataSource#testProperty}

    If you want to reference that property from a groovy script you need to use:

     

    context.expand( '${DataSource#testProperty}' )

    But I am not sure I understand your question... Normally I would use a datasource step in combination with a datasource-loop step.

     

     

    So there will be an execution for each element in the datasource. Why would you call yours with another groovy script? What is the use case?

Not sure if I understand it correctly but you want a nested loop. I would simply use:

 

 

So for instance... Say you want to send the names of some products from a grocery store. The execution would look like this:

1. Fruits

    1A. Oranges

    1B. Apples

    1C. Pears

2. Coffee

    2A. Black

    2B. Latte
