How to take key which defined in json data bank's custom column name box in the groovy script?

I want to use variable in groovy script which I have defined in json data bank's custom column name section.

jakubiak

Do something like the following, where you call the "getValue()" method in the ScriptingContext object, passing "Generated Data Source" as the data source name and the name of the custom column:

import com.parasoft.api.*;
import soaptest.api.*;

String doSomething(ExtensionToolContext context) {
   String value = context.getValue("Generated Data Source", "value1");
}

Thanks @jakubiak this is very helpful and it is working as expected.

@jakubiak if xpath output contain multiple values, then how to save in list using extension tool ?

When extracting multiple values, you can use an XPath that uses the "string-join" function so you can delimit each value with a comma, for example. So, your data bank would contain a comma-separated list of the values. From your script, you can get the value of the data bank column and use the string "split" method to get the values as an array.
