Need to insert a variable into the head of a POST
I have extracted the value of a token from meta data sent by a form and put that into a reference variable. Now, I need to put that variable into a value pair in the head of the POST that follows.
I thought I could just go to the script, into the "HTTP Header Manager” and add a line that says:
X-MYTOKEN ${mytoken}
But, when I do that, jmeter sends the literal “${mytoken}” in the HEAD.
What am I doing wrong?

This means the variable is not defined.
Check the name, remember it is case sensitive.

Hi Bob,
Are you trying to extract the value and use it in the same thread group? In case you try to use it in another thread group you have to make a pre-step before using it.
BR,
Erez
