The APIs im testing my access to require a token key: authorizationToken.

unfortunately, the automatically generated temp headers only seem to allow the key to be Authorization.

is there a way to modify that temp key value OR store the token value as an automatically updated variable?

Hey @Corey.Wong

Are you able to provide a screenshot of what you’re trying to achieve please? It would help visualise the problem.

You can set different Headers manually and use them in the request, you that’s what you mean? These could also be used with a variables to store dynamic values.

It’s the temp headers, I want to modify the key name for oauth2 bearer tokens.
