Hi  
I am currently using ‘POST’ data from binary in the request body (see screenshot below).  
The data is uploaded from a location on my system, external from ‘Postman’.  
The issue is that the content of the file is daily updated and I want the ‘POST’ request to be executed with the current content, without having to explicitly go in the body, delete the existing file and re-choose the new file from the external location.  
Is there a way to define the path to the file location, so that a new file is being uploaded for each run?
