Passing a dynamic authentication token
So I've been using SoapUI for just a day. My business decided it would be a good tool to use for our Rest service API's we've developed. The tool seems quite in depth and I haven't figured everything ...

It is possible to concatenate the token_type and access_token without adding a groovy script step.
Using this example add header style parameter
Name: Authorization
Value: ${get_token#Response#$.token_type} ${get_token#Response#$.access_token}
or if the type is always bearer
Value: Bearer ${get_token#Response#$.access_token}
An advantage of using groovy script step is that if you need to use the same authorization header for many requests then property expansion to get data from the response is only processed once and will be consistent.
Hi PaulMS and thanks for your examples.
What I really would like is to parameterize the header value and resource path in the same way, but under the Projects structure and not on every single Test under the SoapUI structure.
But I cannot seem to get to any of the data elements that way.
Right now I am building a testsuite that will be included in an automated build pipeline to do a health check of all the services, so it works even though the scope right now is small.
But I see problems when something changes that I have to manually edit every single value on each Test affected as the values are not defined in the Project/Library, but as a reference in each Test to the value extracted.
I might have done this wrong but I cannot for the life of me figure out anyway to accomplish this in Project/Library section or one place in a Test to pass the the rest of the Tests in that TestCase/TestSuite.
