Events can be used in this case.

Implement script for beforeSubmit of SubmitListener. Access the request and remove the unwanted and reassign the request with changed request.

    Here is the example script that should do what you are looking for.

    Place the same for SubmitListener.beforeStep

     

     

    import com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.teststeps.RestTestRequestStep
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper
import groovy.json.JsonOutput
def temp = context.getProperty('wsdlRequest')
def isSendNegativeValues = context.expand('${#TestCase#SEND_NEGATIVE_VALUE}') ?: 'false'
if ('false' == isSendNegativeValues && temp && (context.getProperty('wsdlRequest').parent instanceof RestTestRequestStep)) {
	def request = context.wsdlRequest.requestContent
	def json = new JsonSlurper().parseText(request)
	def newRequest = JsonOutput.toJson(json.findAll {it.id > 0})
	if (newRequest && request != newRequest) {
		context.wsdlRequest.requestContent = newRequest
	}
}

     

     

    However, what do you like to do if you want to send ids with negative values ever? It is not mentioned.

     

    You can define test case level custom property SEND_NEGATIVE_VALUE with value true, so that the request is not filter any data. By default, the above script filters with ids of negative values.
