Store values from all responses in Data Source Loop

Question

I have a Data Source Loop working, within which I have a POST request that creates an object on each loop iteration with different data from the Data Source. But I need to capture one parameter in the JSON returned by each POST. The closest I was able to achieve was using Transfer To -&gt; Property but all this did was capture the value from the last iteration, each iteration just overwrote the previous. I need some kind of array to store all these values in for use in the next test step, but I can't figure out how.

Hi,
&nbsp;
You need to include a datasink step within your datasource loop.&nbsp; The datasink allows you to store values from the current iteration.
Once the datasource loop has completed, then you can use the file generated in the earlier datasink step as your second datasource loop.
Here is a link to SmartBear's own docs...

Have a read of some of these recent and vaguely similar posts.

Extract the required value from the response and put in a test case custom property. Each time it is looped thru, append the value to the above custom property separated by a delimiter.
Read the custom property value wherever needed.

Hi&nbsp;rymliam,
Could you please review this page?
https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/testing/properties/examples.html
It explains how to get a value from a response and use it in the test. Does it help?

Yeah got that! But I have a loop running over the request multiple times, and I need to do some further work with&nbsp;all of the responses outside of the loop. Doing that only gives me access to the final loop iteration once the loop has ended. So I need some method to store the values as the loop iterates, that I can then access in a later test step.
