I have a POST to get Bearer token for Azure Commercial Resource Manager. I am trying to use variables as much as possible so that I can use the query across subscriptions, tenants, and environments. When I use a variable for the “resource” key, I get a Bearer token but the value for resource returned to me is a string of numbers instead of the value that I passed it. If I take the value I am storing inside the “INITIAL” field for the variable and hard code that into the resource key value, everything works as expected.

**To Reproduce**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create POST to https://{{aad\_endpoint}}/{{tenant\_Id}}/oauth2/token’ with the following keys:

- grant\_type : client\_credentials
- client\_id : {{sp\_client\_Id}}
- client\_secret : {{sp\_client\_Key}}
- resource : {{arm\_Resource\_Url}}

1. Create the following variables:

- aad\_endpoint : [login.microsoftonline.com](http://login.microsoftonline.com)
- tenant\_Id : \<Azure\_Tenant\_ID\>
- sp\_client\_Id : \<Azure\_application\_ID\>
- sp\_client\_Key : \<Key\_for\_application\>
- arm\_Resource\_Url : [https://management.core.windows.net/](https://management.core.windows.net/)

1. Execute POST

2. Replace resource key value with hard coded value and re-send POST  

3. Token returned is correct but value not written to CURRENT:

**Expected behavior**  
Expect resource value returned with token to reflect the resource that the token is for
