how to transfer property from REST GET request to another REST POST request

[shaialo]

Hi there,

I need help on SoapUI NG Pro (I couldn't find any demo or Youtube video explaining this) :

How can I transfer properties from a REST GET request to REST POST request, when:

The properies I get from the REST GET request is in the form of XML and I can get the properties as:

1. //html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/form[1]/input[@id="__EVENTVALIDATION"]/@value

2. //html[1]/body[1]/div[1]/form[1]/input[@id="__VIEWSTATE"]/@value

Those 2 properties I need to transfer to a REST POST request, but it needs to be in the body of the request, concatenated to other constant properties.

How can I do that?
Thanks!!

You can use property expansion for the same.
Save them at test case level properties and use in the post resquest
"name" : "${#TestCase#PropertyName}"

What I was missing is how to setup the properties in the first place, like:

1. Go to the desired node in the XML response representation,

2. Right-click on the node's value, select: "Transfer to" => "Add property step"

3. Create the property right - set Target to the Property name.

4. Then, in the POST request: right-click on the insert location => "Ge Data" => Project[X] => Property[Y].
