How can I get the iteration number in a loop?

I have a repeater with a fixed count. Is there a way to know which iteration is currently executing from within the test?

Sure! First, it is important to understand Output Variables. Any Action has the ability to provide one or more Output Variables. If you open an Action, you can see the Output Variables in the Action tree. Paired with Output Variables defined in the Action is the Output Name of the test Step. Output Variable are only populated on Steps when an Output name has been specified.
For the Repeat keyword example, lets use MY_REPEAT as the Output Name. While the function defined by your Repeat step is executing, a context variable name MY_REPEAT_index will be populated with the current ZERO based index of the current iteration

It is also important to mention the Data Toolbox in the IDE. You can drag context variables ( as well as data, secrets, and environment variables) into a test to save time. However, Context Variables will ONLY be available after a step with an Output Name has been executed at least once. Just something to remember...
