Counter documentation is wrong in required fields: Reference name - can be empty will create a JMeter variable with empty string which can be called as ${} Starting value - can be empty will create a value from 0 Increment - can be empty will increment a value with 0 (no increment) Should update documentation or add limitation in code Based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50794408/jmeters-counter-without-required-fields
I think the empty name and increment of zero is a bug. An empty name should probably be handled as a user input error. The other two fields can be set to a default value. My preference would be start counter with 0 and increment by 1. The docs should - of course - reflect this.
