G'day I struggled with this sort of thing for a while.
The basic answer is that for each variable reference you have to consider when it is evaluated. The name of a log file is evaluated once prior to execution. Since the variable you are using is not defined at that time it evaluates to its own name.

I have set one file name field to: ..\projects\test\${log_prefix}_10user_tests_log.xml but I only get files called "${log_prefix}_10user_tests_log.xml", despite having a variable set called 'log_prefix'. Is what I want to do possible? Am I going about it the right way? Is there any way to get the data from separate test runs in separate files/directories?
