How is possible to pass the GlobalVariable **directly** in the HTTP body of a POST request ?

I’ve tried with:

{  
“batch\_code”: “MC01”,  
“name”: “OMR-150-50-MC”,  
“planned\_start\_dt”: “2019-05-14T22:05:00.000Z”,  
“planned\_end\_dt”: “2019-05-15T07:35:00.000Z”,  
“real\_start\_dt”: “2019-05-14T22:05:00.000Z”,  
“real\_end\_dt”: “2019-05-15T07:35:00.000Z”,  
“status”: “ONGOING”,  
“unit”: {  
“id”: **${GlobalVariable.unit\_id}** ,  
“name”: “steril-3”  
},  
“recipe”: {  
“id”: **${GlobalVariable.recipe\_id}** ,  
“version”: 1  
}  
}

and also with :

{  
“batch\_code”: “MC01”,  
“name”: “OMR-150-50-MC”,  
“planned\_start\_dt”: “2019-05-14T22:05:00.000Z”,  
“planned\_end\_dt”: “2019-05-15T07:35:00.000Z”,  
“real\_start\_dt”: “2019-05-14T22:05:00.000Z”,  
“real\_end\_dt”: “2019-05-15T07:35:00.000Z”,  
“status”: “ONGOING”,  
“unit”: {  
“id”: **“${GlobalVariable.unit\_id}”** ,  
“name”: “steril-3”  
},  
“recipe”: {  
“id”: **“${GlobalVariable.recipe\_id}”** ,  
“version”: 1  
}  
}

but variables are not replaced with the values.
