My question:
How in postman test use environment variable to object property name?

Details (like screenshots):
I get a response from request like this:
{
“something”: {
“81071”: “Test name 1”,
“81072”: “Test name 2”
}

How I can use environment variables to make a test of id’s i geted (81071, 81072)?

How I found the problem:
I get an object from response of my request and can’t test it with an environment variables.

I’ve already tried:
I make test like this but i have an error.

pm.test(‘Value check’, () => {
const expectedObject = {
“something”: {
“pm.environment.get(‘id1’)”: “Test name 1”,
“pm.environment.get(‘id2’)”: “Test name 2”
}
};

pm.expect(response).to.deep.include(expectedObject);

});

2 
response = pm.response.json();

pm.collectionVariables.set("id1", "81071");
pm.collectionVariables.set("id2", "81072");

const expectedObject = {
    "args": {
        [pm.collectionVariables.get("id1")]: "Test name 1",
        [pm.collectionVariables.get("id2")]: "Test name 2"
    }
};

pm.test("Value check", () => {
    pm.expect(response).to.deep.include(expectedObject);
});

Thank you, for help! I didn’t know that I need to use ‘[]’ to environment variable if it in the property position. Have a nice day!
