RequestFilter.filterRequest Script not triggered during test run

Hi All, I'm trying to use a RequestFilter.filterRequest event handler to update my json test request when it contains a "null" value (inside double quotes) and replace it with null (without quotes)....

Tried Request instead of RawRequest and that doesnt work either..

The code snippet is doing the replace properly but when the actual test step is executed, the replaced value is NOT fed into the submitted request.

    Hey gsvkumar,

    If youre struggling to get the event handler to sort it (even though from what youve described id expect it to successfully convert the text null into wellformed null datatype), you could import into a Properties step and change the datatype that way?

    I appreciate this is far less efficient than using events as youd need to do this for each testcase that has a wellformed null in there, but it would work.
