    After some searching I found two relevant answers in the above article.

    1. If everything were working you would be able to display this information using the script command log.info mockRequest.requestContent

    2. However not everything is working, this property returns null when processing a PUT request.  This looks to be a very very old bug that is yet to be fixed (going back to 2014).  But fortunately the same article's responses provide a workaround, a small block of script code that pulls the payload using a buffered reader object.

Here is an example test request that shows the payload before the values have been added.

 

Once the step runs, the Raw tab shows exactly what it sent.  E.g.

That only works if I'm sending the request with SoapUI.  In this case though the request is coming in to the REST MockService from a different product (the one I'm trying to test).
