Is there a global var that can be used to take a bearer token and used to populate the token value in the HTTP token value text box? Basically one token, and 4-5 HTTP request nodes.
thank you

The bearer token is in the headers. So you can extract it from the headers to a variable and then put it onto the headers for another request if you need to.
