Thank you for the quick reply.  I currently have a Datasource Loop set up pointed to the DataSouce.  It does loop through but pulls only the first row.  I'm not sure if i have configured the settings in the Datasource correctly.  I have attached some screenshots of the current setup.  

 

Thank you

The data source setup seems ok, so i am not sure what causes the issue. Here are some things i could think of:

  • There might be an empty line that causes to skip the loop (try disabling Skip Loop on Empty option)
  • The request might fail and stop the test run (go to test case options and disable Abort on Error option)
  • The data source loop might point to an incorrect test step (make sure the Target Step is set to REST Request 2)

Finally, if all else fails, you can contact our support team and have them look at the project. There is usually some simple issue which is easy enough to fix.
