Hi mmoles,
I'm using the soapUI pro version, so i'm not sure if this will work for the free version.
1. If you want to past the actual values of the response to other requests in one step, groovy is the way to go. (insert a groovy step after the testStep containing the response and transfer the response content)
2. If you want to see the request as it was sent to the webservice, you can view this in the raw tab of the request editor. (Instead of on the XML tab)
You can set the requestdata per xmlelement by rightclicking the element >> getData >> select the step containing the response >> select response >>> select property.
Also, if you use groovy, you can always loop through all the testSteps that require the response data.
