Performing a JsonPath replacement in groovy

The following code works in a groovy step, but if you notice, I am replacing an element by hard position referencing i.e. references[0]: json.cEntity.references[0].userValue = "newID_ONE###"     ...

    You can try the below

    json.cEntity.references.find{it.name == 'ID_ONE'}.userValue = "newID_ONE###"

Great solution. Is there a reason you can see my original approach should not have worked? Seems to work outside of ReadyAPI.

It was working outside as the json content is static as you are updating based on index.

In the solution provided, find the name whose value provided and update it's value. So, the position is not considered to update.
