Hi,  
my request has this response:

> [  
> {  
> “Site”: “[google.com](http://google.com)”,  
> “external”: false,  
> “active”: true,  
> “black”: false,  
> “AVR”: false  
> },  
> {  
> “Site”: “google.ca”,  
> “external”: false,  
> “active”: true,  
> “black”: false,  
> “AVR”: false  
> },  
> {  
> “Site”: “[yulu.com](http://yulu.com)”,  
> “external”: true,  
> “active”: false,  
> “black”: true,  
> “AVR”: true  
> }  
> ]

I want to set global variable with each set of data like:  
var1 = “Site”: “[google.com](http://google.com)”,  
“external”: false,  
“active”: true,  
“black”: false,  
“AVR”: false

var2 = “Site”: “google.ca”,  
“external”: false,  
“active”: true,  
“black”: false,  
“AVR”: false

var3 = “Site”: “[yulu.com](http://yulu.com)”,  
“external”: true,  
“active”: false,  
“black”: true,  
“AVR”: true

I am able to set each value in one var like for example:  
var1= “Site”: “[google.com](http://google.com)”,“Site”: “google.ca”,“Site”: “[yulu.com](http://yulu.com)”  
by using this code:

```
> var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);

```

> ```
> var jsonNamesData = jsonData;
> console.log(jsonNamesData);
> var parsedData = "";
> for(var i=0;i<jsonNamesData.length;i++){
> parsedData = parsedData +"\"Site\" : \"" +jsonNamesData[i].Site+"\", ";
> console.log("\"Site\" : \"" +jsonNamesData[i].Site+"\"");
> }
> pm.globals.set("Site", parsedData);
> 
> ```

Thank you for your help.

Hey @ps198478320

You could probably achieve this with something like:

```auto
_.each(pm.response.json(), (item, index) => { 
    pm.globals.set(`var${index + 1}`, JSON.stringify(item))
})

```

Hi @danny-dainton ,  
you solution works but it stores only the last set of value:

“Site”: “[yulu.com](http://yulu.com/)”,  
“external”: true,  
“active”: false,  
“black”: true,  
“AVR”: true

i’m looking at how to do for all set of value…

It should be looping through the whole array and setting each of the objects as a new variables.

Could you share an image of the app and how you have the code?

Did you use the code as I wrote it?

What ever the name you have chosen for the variable, this part is important `${index + 1}` as it gives a unique name for the variable.

Without this, you’re going to overwrite the last stored variable and probably end up with the last one.

Yes i use exactly your code:

```
_.each(pm.response.json(), (item, index) => { 
pm.globals.set('item', JSON.stringify(item))

```

})

It’s not quite as I wrote it 😁

You are right, i made a mistake, it works now, it goes to all value and stores in variable.  
Thank you very much.
