reusing value from earlier response not working

[LindevdH]

Good day,

In my first GET request named "Basics" the response is like:

[
   {
      "item1": "testvalue",
     "item2": "123456"
   }
]

In my second get request I want to reuse the value of "Basics" item "item2".
If I am correct then the request should be build up like:

###
# @name Basics
get http://10.2.9.20:6548/getValues

###
# @name refered
# @ref Basics
get http://10.2.9.20:6548/getValuesLinked/{{Basics.item2}}

But instead I get the error:
"message": "Incorrect request variable reference syntax, it should be "variableName.(response|request).(headers|body).
What might be relevant is that the " @ref " does not light up in Blue but in green.

It would be nice if I could get this setup correctly and working. It would save me a lot of time.

@LindevdH The error is not generated by httpyac but by vscode-restclient (you used CodeLens Send Request). To some extent you can probably solve it with vscode-restclient, even though @ref is not supported (search jsonpath in readme).
If you want to try your luck with my extension, it's best to uninstall vscode-restclient to avoid misunderstandings and use Code Lens Send or command httpyac.send. We have different approaches in detail. Your example should actually work, except that the array access is not respected.

###
# @name Basics
get http://10.2.9.20:6548/getValues

###
# @name refered
# @ref Basics
get http://10.2.9.20:6548/getValuesLinked/{{Basics[0].item2}}
