kong gateway add headers

Question

I want to add some headers to my incoming rest api requests with kong gateway. In the kong admin UI, I set these parametes :

config.add.headers: myheader: $(consumer_id)

myheader is a name for new header and I want to set variable of consumer_id value in these header. but after this configuration , kong gives me a empty value. I also tried ${consumer_id} and etc ... but none of these variables worked.!

So the question is: what's the VARIABLE syntaxs of consumer_id or custom_id and ... too call in kong gateway.

thx BR

Are you using Key Authentication plugin ? `X-Consumer-ID` should be already set — Ôrel, Apr 27 '22 at 14:20
are you using the OSS request transformer plugin (https://docs.konghq.com/hub/kong-inc/request-transformer/) or some other plugin specific for Kong Enterprise like Request Transformer Advanced? — bovino Marcelo Bezerra, May 07 '22 at 22:18

finally I found the correct header from network dump, and replace it with My required header.

the right header for my case was : X-Consumer-Custom-ID
