json parsing exception in postman environment variables

I am trying to chain my rest apis in postman.After one of the api gets executed i saved 2 variables in environment using:

 postman.setEnvironmentVariables("x","xValue");
 postman.setEnvironmentVariables("y","yValue");

Now i need these 2 variable to be passed as json in next api. I am passing this as follows:

enter image description here

But values are not getting passed not as expected.Values is still being passed as "{{xValue}}" instead of some Value.

Can somebody help if i am doing something wrong.

Thanks,

You are using an undefined variable {{xValue}} inside your request body, that is why it's just returning this string. If you change it to {{x}} --> you will get the output xValue.

For example:

// set environment variable named "variable_key"
pm.environment.set("variable_key", "variable_value");


// access environment variable named "variable_key" in your request body
{
  "someKey": {{variable_key}}
}
