Hi,

I've to do a sequence of http request (REST API) and i've to propagate some initial information, so i've to put on the response after each HTTP Request Block the input payload. How i can do this ?

I've see that with GET I can do it, but if i've to do a POST the option to mantain in the response the input payload is not showed.

thank's advance

best regard's

If you wish to retain the output payload between requests, you will need to move the payload to a different property before doing the next call. You can do that with a `change` node.

Just note that if you wish to retain any of the ExpressJS metadata (such as headers for example), you will need to make a copy of those to a different property since they will be overwritten of course by the next call.
