Set return value as environment variable

Question

I would like to set the return value of an auth call (a token) as an environment variable so that other calls can make use of the value and I don't have to change that value manually.

Can Paw already do this easily?

If not, how would I lay out an extension to achieve this?

Answer 1

The best is that you set your OAuth dynamic value in your header field, then copy the value (select the text and hit Cmd + C):

Go to edit your environments and paste the dynamic value (Cmd + V) in a new variable:

Now go back to your header, and start to write the name of the environment variable you just created, it will offer you to use this variable:

You should be good to go now:

If later you need a change in your token, you can go back to the environments and edit it there, all at the same place.
