如何在 Visual Studio Code REST 客户端请求中多次提交相同的 GUID

Question

When I need to use the same GUID in several instances - eg HTTP Header and Body - how can I achieve this?

Correlation-Id: {{$guid}}

{
  "CorrelationId": "{{$guid}}",
  "Record": [
...

Correlation-Id: {{corrid}}

{
  "CorrelationId": "{{corrid}}",
  "Record": [
...
