Hi,

Is there a way I can enter a variable into a request name? For example something like this:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/getpostman/original/3X/d/8/d8010349a63f26d73753d9487231e9d42f323288.png)  
So That {{Number}} gets replaced by a variable.

Thanks

Hi @avanbe,

The request names don’t get replaced by the variables.  
If you want to add a statement **test with number - {{Number}}** where number gets replaced by the variable, you can always access the variable by **pm.variables.get(“Number”)** and log it the pre/post -request scripts.
