Troubleshooting Dynamic Variables

  1. Ensure correct syntax: Double-check curly braces and variable names.
  2. Variable scope: Use the correct scope for the variable you want to access.
  3. Environment selection: Dynamic values might not be updated if the wrong environment is chosen.
  4. Debug scripts: Utilise the console to diagnose errors in pre-request or test scripts.
