User defined variable as a filename in a CSV Data Set Config element

Question

I have a user defined variable that I put the location to a csv file.

csv_path = mydrive/thisfolder/thecsv.csv

When I put ${csv_path} as my filename argument in the CSV Data Set Config element I get an error and it shows up that the path is only the name of the csv file. If I manually put the filename in there it works. Any ideas? I am trying to create a relative path to it rather than hardcoding an absolute path.

When you define the user defined variables, assign the path of the csv file (relative paths work) using a property like shown below:

And then, in your CSV Data Set Config, refer that file using the property name like this:
