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.

    Hi Pierre,

    This is because we review each of the ideas as a Product Management team on a weekly basis. When we reviewed this idea there were some further consideration or checking with internal teams that we wanted to do. Once this is done we will give a response and make public.
