Hello everyone, I would like to feed multiple records to my scenario like it was described in [https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/reference/3.6/session/feeder/](https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/reference/3.6/session/feeder/) “You can also feed multiple records all at once. If so, attribute names, will be suffixed. For example, if the columns are named “foo” and “bar” and you’re feeding 2 records at once, you’ll get “foo1”, “bar1”, “foo2” and “bar2” session attributes.” This feature seems to be removed according to [https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/reference/current/upgrading/3.6-to-3.7/](https://gatling.io/docs/gatling/reference/current/upgrading/3.6-to-3.7/) “feed(feeder, Int) is deprecated for removal and is no longer documented.” is there a convenient solution for this problem? kind regards David ---

I really don’t like this name translation. IMHO, if we were to reintroduce a similar feature, we should inject Seqs so you would do foo(0), foo(1), get(0), get(1). Then, I’d like some feedback on how many users actually use this feature. ---

Is there a workaround with the current version how to obtain multiple records? I’m quit stuck at the moment. ---

The feature is still there in the Scala DSL, it’s just not documented. ---

I’m using the java API it seems that the feature is already removed there 😕 ---

Then it’s not been removed, it hasn’t been introduced 🙂 You can do the translation yourself: feed(feeder) .exec( session → session.set(“foo1”, session.getString(“foo”)) .feed(feeder) .exec( session → session.set(“foo2”, session.getString(“foo”)) .feed(feeder) .exec( session → session.set(“foo3”, session.getString(“foo”)) ---
