This is one area where Kong unfortunately struggles at the moment.

Our docs are outdated in this specific area as well.  
Can you follow along this thread: [Plans to expose config.rewrite.uri in request-transformer plugin](https://discuss.konghq.com/t/plans-to-expose-config-rewrite-uri-in-request-transformer-plugin/4551/2)?
