It's probably me being a doofus, but I'm struggling to find a way to add an Authorization header to my request using IBM API Connect Test and Monitor.

In cURL I would use something like this: -

-H 'Authorization: Bearer '"${ACCESS\_TOKEN}"

and APICTM does allow me to set Headers, but not quite like that ☹

What am I doing wrong?

Also, again it's probably just me but is there a way to see a "code" view of the entire request, including Headers? and [IBM API Connect Training](https://mindmajix.com/ibm-api-connect-training)
