I am setting up few requests which need to be executed before certain requests of collection at pre-request script via pm.sendRequest() method.

My need is to keep entire pm.sendRequest() as environment variable and will call it in required pre-request tab by getting its variable name as pm.environment.get(“variablename”)… Also,i want to update json key value after getting it from environment.

Any help on this…

Have a look at the following article on Stack Overflow.

[javascript - How to Write Global Functions in Postman - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45673961/how-to-write-global-functions-in-postman)

There are examples of using Environment variables with EVAL that should give you a starting point.
