Using Variables to Carry Over ID's of Responses in the Postman Collection

[nikschul]

Currently - when executing the REST requests inside the Postman collection in the order described in step 7 of the README.md - some IDs of previous responses have to be copied over manually to the next request. Even though this could have a certain learning effect for new users as they have to understand which ID has to be used when, this could also be simplified by automating it with Postman variables.

Here is an example:

Instead of manually copying the "contractAgreementId" over to the next request, it could be automatically carried over to the next request.

This could be accomplished with post-request scripts: https://blog.postman.com/extracting-data-from-responses-and-chaining-requests/

sounds like you're volunteering for a PR :)

[edit]: another feature that would become available once we have this are Postman Flows (request chains), where the user only has to click the "start" btn.

that sounds great, I'll have a look into that. :)

closing as resolved, since an issue and PR have been created.
