the solution was found, it is not very pretty but works
def groovyUtils = new com.eviware.soapui.support.GroovyUtils(context)
def response = context.expand('${GetSID - GetSID#ResponseAsXml}')
def holder = groovyUtils.getXmlHolder(response)
node_data = holder.getNodeValue("//data")
String str = node_data;
//get data between the text
String result1 = str.substring(str.indexOf("sid") + 1, str.indexOf("upgrades"));
//delete all extra symbols in the string
String result2 = result1.replaceAll('"',"")
String result3 = result2.replaceAll(":","")
String result4 = result3.replaceAll("id","")
String result = result4.replaceAll(',',"")
//set global variable
com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties.setPropertyValue( "sid", result )Hey UnnounUsername
Apologies - Ive only just seen your post. I can see you've already sorted this out, but for future reference, there is an alternative option to relying on groovy script when attempting to extract values from CDATA wrapped xml - you can actually use the embedded functionality instead.
Essentially the short answer is to use a property within a property.
If you launch --> https://www.soapui.org/docs/functional-testing/working-with-cdata/
Navigate to section '3. Property Transfers and CDATA Sections' and follow these instructions. I've used this option a couple of times - it's not pretty either - but it gets the job done!
Cheers,

Thx a lot for your answer, i saw that page but unfortunately couldn't understand how all it works ... i mean saxon parse and search. I always got
Fri Oct 07 10:06:24 EEST 2021 sid [Error parsing source property [error: Unexpected element: CDATA]]
But anyway i marked your comment as solution.
Hi, it would be great to see UI solution instead of scripting.
