@ed_truqc Thats awesome. The great thing about Postman is its very flexible in what it can do when it comes to working with creating data.

I am more than happy to help any way I can. If you run into any problems, feel free to reach out to me at any time.

Postman added update to allow us to more elegantly update the request body in a pre-request-script.

There are many ways to do it but for me I created a place holder pre-request-created to replace a uuid that I generate.

const body =  pm.request.body.raw.replace("{{pre-request-created}}", uuid);
pm.request.body.update({
    mode: 'raw',
    raw: body
});
