How to initiate trend for dynamic request names?

Grafana k6 OSS Support

I’m trying to use the trends for my tests and I’m unable to when the request name is dynamic. There are ~300 api calls and I don’t execute tests on all at all the time nor can I declare trends for 300 request names. I want to be able to run each request individually and I want to declare trend in the below fashion so that the requests names change and the trends for them are initiated in run time.

import { Trend } from 'k6/metrics';

let requestTrends = {};

export function requestTrend(stepName, response) {
  if (!requestTrends[stepName]) {
    requestTrends[stepName] = new Trend(stepName);
  }
  requestTrends[stepName].add(response.timings.duration);
}

When I import the function in other file and call it I get
GoError: metrics must be declared in the init context
