I think you mean naming constants something like this CONSTANT_vote = 18, or simply _vote = 18 for brevity. This is helpful, but can be a bit unwieldy because you have to type a prefix before multiple properties. It will break when someone decides to start initializing a "constant" property via a groovy script, but does not change the property name accordingly. For example, _country = UK should become just "country" when we start supporting multiple countries. Moreover, property names can get too long if you need to add other prefixes/suffixes also (ex. some people might add input or output prefixes to show which properties are inputs for a test, and which properties a test sets for other tests to use respectively).
So, it would be nice if ReadyAPI could allow us to select the type (constant or variable) of a property when we create it. The property type could be shown as a separate column, OR instead of that ReadyAPI could automatically add a desired prefix for a property type (ex. constant prefix = _ or CONST etc.). Then, it could prevent constants from having variable values like ${...some var....}. That way, we can easily catch hard coding during test reviews. As an aside, it would be nice to also have enums, but that's probably excessive.
