    Please check the screen shot.

    Define the directory(where the file are available in the system) at suite level (You can use test case level as well, but my sample defines at suite level so that the same can be used in other test cases) with property DIRECTORY; and define FILE property at test case level.

    Now, once you read the value from data source, assign that value to FILE property

     

    By now, the FILE will have different value each time as you are modifying before Request step.

     

    Use appropriate content type. Just focus on directory and file names, I would say.

    Please refer documentation

Use custom property for the file name such as ${#TestCase#FILENAME} instead of specific file name in the attachment section, before that save the file name in custom property.
