How to reference all instances created in a @loop statement?

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to create a test-script that calls a (POST) endpoint multiple times and then uses the results of each call in subsequence calls.

This is what I’ve tried:

# @name uuid
# @loop for 2
GET https://httpbin.org/uuid

###

# @ref uuid
# @loop for item of uuidList
POST https://httpbin.org/post
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "item": "{{item.uuid}}"
}

Unfortunately this fails with:

ERROR: ReferenceError - uuidList is not defined
ReferenceError: uuidList is not defined

I know that using the <variableName>List variable is an undocumented feature that I found while reviewing the code:

Is there maybe a better way of referencing all results of a @loop for n statement?
