How to set and get dynamic environmental variable?

In the version 7.6.0, which is currently on the Canary Channel but soon to be released, you can achieve this by using the new replaceIn() function.

I modified your code slightly to add this new feature in there:

pm.environment.set("employeeName", getRandomName());

function getRandomName() {
    const employeeName = pm.variables.replaceIn("{{$randomFirstName}}");
    return employeeName;
}

Or you could just get rid of that function and do it in one line :slight_smile:

pm.environment.set("employeeName", pm.variables.replaceIn("{{$randomFirstName}}"));
