Project structure

Hi, I am evaluating ready API as a Postman replacement for our work and have a question around project level variables that need to be generated at some point of the API testing process.

I have dates for example

Past, Current and Future 

To get this working quickly I wrote a groovy script that returned the current date

I added this step as a test step in the flow, just before the step that needed the date in the API url, all works well

However I have many API calls that need the current date or other dates to test things with, so my initials thoughts were

1. Add a groovy script in each place - no not keen, too much work to maintain

2. Do what I did in postman and create the variables before I run any tests and save them as project variables.

Just really wanted an idea on how other Ready API users are doing this

My initial idea was to make a Test scripts test suite and put the scripts inside there that run as test steps and save the results before any of the other tests run eg

Any thoughts, feedback and ideas are all welcome, thanks
