You can do this but using each object from that datafile, as the request body.

Add the following items to the request, these with be used to get and use the data.

In the request body:

{{jsonBody}}

In the Pre-request Script:

pm.variables.set('jsonBody', JSON.stringify(pm.iterationData.toObject()));

Ensure that the request is saved (no orange dot in the request tab), open the Collection Runner and select the Collection. Select your JSON data file (The iteration count will match the number of objects in the file) and check the Save responses box.

Run the Collection and each request should use the whole data object for that iteration.

Thank you for the response I would try this and get back to you ... — Sumit Patra, Jan 31 '22 at 14:32
