Unable to pass value into the body of post request

Grafana k6
1

I’m new to K6 and trying to create my first script.
I’ve used K6 browser recorder and converted recoded HAR into script.
In the script, inside “Group 1” I capture a string that I need to use in “Group 3” but all attempts to pass the string into post request body have failed.
Here is “Group 3”. When I replay script with option httpDebug: 'full' console output shows that tmp has correct value but in post request it shows as SomeID=%24%7Btmp%7D and request fails.
What am I doing wrong?

group('Group 3 - https://something.com/blah/home',
function () {
  const tmp = capturedValue;
  console.log("==================================tmp = ",tmp);
  response = http.post(
    'https://something.com/blah/home',
    {
      FOO: '1',
      BAR: '0',
      Yada: 'Page',
      Blah: '0',
      Number: '1',
      String: 'CAT',
      SomeID: '${tmp}',
      SomeData: '',
    },
    {
      headers: {
        'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        referer:
          'https://something.com/blah/origin',
        'user-agent':
          'Mozilla/5.0 etc',
      },
    })

Hi @sonia2024 , welcome to the community forum!

%24%7Btmp%7D is the urlencoded form of the ‘${tmp}’ string, I think, you just have to use simply

SomeID: tmp,

I hope this helps
