-Functions and variables can be written into any field of any test component.
Some fields do not allow random strings
+Functions and variables can be written into any field of any test component
(apart from the TestPlan - see below).
+Some fields do not allow random strings
because they are expecting numbers, and thus will not accept a function.
However, most fields will allow
functions.
+</p>
+<p>
+Functions which are used on the Test Plan have some restrictions.
+JMeter thread variables will have not been fully set up when the functions are
processed,
+so variable names passed as parameters will not be set up, and variable
references will not work,
+so split() and regex() and the variable evaluation functions won't work.
+The threadNum() function won't work (and does not make sense at test plan
level).
+The following functions should work OK on the test plan:
+<ul>
+<li>intSum</li>
+<li>longSum</li>
+<li>machineName</li>
+<li>BeanShell</li>
+<li>javaScript</li>
+<li>jexl</li>
+<li>random</li>
+<li>time</li>
+<li>property functions</li>
+<li>log functions</li>
+</ul>
</p>

Configuration elements are processed by a separate thread.
