Can't use numeric collection variable value

🙋 Help
1

I need to send the request with the following body:

{
    "repository": {
        "relatedId": 25,
        "name": "somename",
        "order": 0
    }
}

I already have collection variable with number value for relatedId. How do I use it?

If I do it this way, I get value for related id as string, which is not what I need:

{
    "repository": {
        "relatedId": "{{receivedRelatedId}}", // becomes "relatedId": "25", and I need "relatedId": 25
        "name": "somename",
        "order": 0
    }
}

Without quotes I get parsing errors:

{
    "repository": {
        "relatedId": {{receivedRelatedId}},
        "name": "somename",
        "order": 0
    }
}

How do I properly use numeric variable value?

You need to do this without quotes.

What parsing error are you receiving?

{
    "repository": {
        "relatedId": {{relatedID}},
        "name": "somename",
        "order": 0
    }
}

Posting this to Postman echo works fine and the integer is showing ok.

{
    "args": {},
    "data": {
        "repository": {
            "relatedId": 25,
            "name": "somename",
            "order": 0
        }
    },

    },

Error seems to be gone without me changing anything, now without quotes it works. Thanks for the reply!
