Dynamically populate path parameters from example property about oatts HOT 8 CLOSED

Hey @cwc-products ! Thanks for the ticket! If I understand the ask here its to have request parameters respect the given example when available, and use spoofed data when an example is not available. Please let me know if I am not understanding.

I believe I would extend this to the current implementation to say that the priority would go to data provided via custom-values, then in-spec examples, then default to spoofed data.

The custom value option is useful when you want to 1. generate multiple test suites with different data and 2. you don't want to clutter your API spec with potentially large examples. In the example you've provided it might seem like overkill, but I believe it is useful for data injection during generation.

If my understanding/proposal is correct, I can work on it soon, or you can submit a PR if you are interested in contributing. Let me know how you'd like to proceed.

Thanks again for the ticket.

It also looks like from that example that the spoofed path param data isn't URL safe. I will open a separate bug for that!
