API Blueprint - Avoid repeating authorization blocks

Question

In API Blueprint, how do I avoid using the same request Authorization header block over and over for every endpoint?

+ Request (application/json)
    + Headers

            Authorization: Bearer jsonWebToken

Is there a way to template this in a data structure perhaps?

Unfortunately API Blueprint has not such feature (yet)

On the other hand, I can tell you that authentication\authorisation framework is being worked - so it's possible that in a not so far future this issue will be solved for you.

Cheers!

Vincenzo answer is correct. The issue planned to address this is Authentication and MSON Parameters and Headers.

In the mean time. One work-around would be to use Hercule to split your blueprint into multiple parts and transclude the auth headers.
