What is the best way to centralize header for test suite of REST api in SOAP UI?

Question

I want to achieve centralization for header. I made an test suite for one API but it has authorization key in it's header for user. If I want to test for another user, I have to change authorization header in all test cases. Is there any way to centralize header authorization in SOAP UI ?

Answer 1

You can define a variable on a Test Suite level, e.g. myHeader with value 123.

Then set the required HTTP header to ${#TestSuite#myHeader}. During the test execution the ${#TestSuite#myHeader} is replaced with actual value of the variable, e.g. 123.
