Path variable support with $filter applied

I use path variables quite alot, especially the ones like

:Variable1
:Variable2

then build my GET request with path variables as my id/guid/mail address change all the type

My problem:

I have a get query to my API and I currently filter all users email addresses on our API - I want :Mail to be a path variable within my filter but when I do :mail within a filter it doesn’t auto create me a path variable because it adds it as part as my $filter string

myapiurl/tenancies/:TenancyId/identity/applications/:AppId/repository/User/?$filter=attributes/any(x: x/AttributeName eq ‘mail’ and x/stringValue eq ‘:Mail’)

This is how it looks in Postman

Postman Variable + Filter

It would be really handy in the path variable it said mail then I can paste email address in there and I don’t have to touch the URL at the top then

Any help appreciated thanks :slight_smile:

I’m not sure you can as “mail” in your scenario is not really a path but part of a filter. I suspect you need to set it as a normal variable and reference it through {{mail}} instead.
