Hi Anton,
Thanks very much for your answer, we are following your suggestions.
Now, we found a problem executing the second Transfer, the value is changed correctly, but now all the JSON null values, somehow, during the transfer are all switched over to { }. Can we keep it with null like the original request?, otherwise we are getting Err in Our Response.
Thanks very much

Hi, Anna,
Ready! API parses JSON to make a property transfer to the position specified in JSON path and then regenerates string representation with a changed field - I think that's when it replaces null with {}. It seems like a bug in our JSON library, or the library might need some extra configuration. I'll create an issue for that and see what we can do.

Hi Anna
The issue isn't fixed yet. I can suggest a simple workaround though - using Groovy script to replace {} with "null" values. You should add a Groovy test step right after Property Transfer with the following script (assuming POST Request is your request with corrupted null fields):
import com.eviware.soapui.model.testsuite.TestStep String request = context.expand( '${POST Request#Request}' ) String correctedRequest = request.replace("{}", "null") TestStep testStep = testRunner.getTestCase().getTestStepByName("POST Request") testStep.setPropertyValue("Request", correctedRequest)
Hope it helps.
