Hi
you *might* be able to workaround this if the tests where you need this to
apply can be grouped up in some way (or even if it applies to all requests)
e.g.
ThreadGroup
HttpSample1
HttpSample2
BeanShell PreProcessor --> Applies to all elements in thread group
//complicated logic determining when to apply default , easy if it
is to apply to all elements
sampler.setPath("/folder1/folder2" + sampler.getPath());
regards
