Using parameters in JSON Body in REST HTTP POST method

Hi, I am trying to create a REST HTTP Request for a POST Method, using JSON data in the body. I am trying to use parameters instead of values in the body. For example: POST Body: { "accountId"...

I've currently having the same propblem. After reading the documentation over and over again and trying all kinds of Property-Expansions the value is always empty.

    Hi,

     

    I think what was not clear from the orignal post is exactly what scope of parameters he/you are intending to use?

     

    What I mean by that is, the syntax for referencing the properties in the original post used the default scope e.g. ${accountID}, this is correct if the properties were added to the TestCase context variable as properties, or failing that, if the properties were added as Global or System properties (see http://www.soapui.org/scripting---properties/property-expansion.html) - does this make sense?

     

    So where or on what type of object have you set the properties that you need to reference e.g. TestCase, Project, context level etc?

     

    Cheers,

    Rupert
