CSV file not updating environment variables

My question:
Hi! I’m trying to iterate through a test suite with a CSV file, but the runner is NOT taking the values from my file. Any ideas why? I’m doing everything step by step yet my variables do not update during iterations.

Details (like screenshots):

My environment is selected, yet the current state of my variables is never updated.

I’ve already tried:
Everything. Set my variables as global, as environmental.

See the variable precedence ,

It’s from local data environment collection global order

So if you have any local variables say

pm.variables.set(“var”) defined then only that value will be reflected . The value from data file won’t have effect
