Can you explain why this is the case: "File paths cannot be dynamic, any variables in the filepath will be ignored." #30

Can you explain why this is the case: File paths cannot be dynamic, any variables in the filepath will be ignored. What would it take to allow this behaviour?

The problem is only the jmeter process can resolve its own variables. The script has no way to evaluate them so the path would be invalid. It's the same problem with using variables for the number of threads.
