Option to initialize groovy variables at runtime (not when the job starts)
when using a variable set by a groovy script, the variable is initialized when the job or load is executed, not when it is needed in the flow of the job.
this is a problem when using tokens for APIs whose validity is limited in time. The token is generated at the begining of the job, then after 1 hour it's going invalid.
this would be really useful to have an option to have the variable set, not at the begining, but on real "runtime" when it is needed

Thanks for the idea. This feature has been evaluated by us and we will not implement at this time.
Please use a table loop or loop job to set variables during runtime.
