Why does it need to be the same request in a loop?

Can you not just make these all separate requests?

lol that’s the easy …did the same it increased my collection numbers though(which i didn’t wanted initially, but that solves the purporse though) 😉 and btw any idea why i get the this error `"status": "JSONArray[0] not found ` works well in another environment, but when i change the env got this error.

Where are you using JSONArray? I assume that’s a variable you have somewhere?

Maybe it doesn’t exist in your new environment

Figured it out… its was not the variable though but Json body was corrupted with one line part 🙂 thanks for your inputs.

@singhsivcan @danny-dainton request does executed 3 times in runners any help?

pre-request  
`pm.environment.set("counter", 3);`

```auto
var currentCount = pm.environment.get("counter"); 
if (currentCount > 0)
{ 
currentCount = currentCount -1; 
pm.environment.set("counter", currentCount); 
postman.setNextRequest("NextRequestName"); 
console.log("Documents left: "); 
console.log(pm.environment.get("counter")); }

```
