Acording to https://github.com/rangav/thunder-client-support/issues/489 this feature was created in v1.12.5. I'm currently using v2.17.7 .

I'm not finding the doco anywhere. I apologise if I've just not looked hard enough.

Thanks, Preet

Are you using the free version/paid version/trial:

Hi @preetmyob

We don't have this functionality. Please use the AWS auth tab

Thank you for the quick reply @rangav.

  1. Could you tell what that issue https://github.com/rangav/thunder-client-support/issues/489 actually was about then, please, as I seem to have misunderstood?

  2. And also I wonder if you could help me understand how to I might be able solve the problem I have please? The problem is that our tokens, keys and secrets are timed, so I have to keep updating the settings manually with copy-paste when my token runs out. I can programmatically generate the new token, keys and keys when it runs out. Is there anyway I can put theprogrammitically put my settings for auth somewhere so that TC can find them without restarting the VS code process?

You can use .env files, generate new tokens and save to .env file and reference this file from your environment and then use these variables in aws auth tab
