id :String

The id of the property is a unique string that identifies this property and can be used to refer to this property from relevant other places. It is a good practice to define the id or let the system auto generate a UUID if one is not defined for properties that require an id.

  • String

Source:

name :String

A property can have a distinctive and human-readable name. This is to be used to display the name of the property within Postman, Newman or other runtimes that consume collection. In certain cases, the absence of name might cause the runtime to use the id as a fallback.
