If you're going to have that many items, I'd suggest creating a database table to manage the items instead of 30 constants. Then you can set up a value for each of your companies and just use a write to data store to update them whenever you need to.

I'm not aware of a way to do it within a single node, but perhaps you could do it using a gateway instead? You could two separate nodes that each point to different constants you want to update and have a gateway that uses your logic to decide which to execute.

Thanks for replaying [mention:6b9f80ff18f9420082d13ef2d5121d56:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] I know i could do it like that but in my case i will manage around 30 companies and that would be a lot of work i have to get token for all of them that´s why i wanted to do it this way

Assuming you have access to the Content Tools plug-in, you should be able to pass a constant name and grab its UUID and then its Object ID using a combination of rules. I'd suggest you encapsulate this in an expression rule for the sake of error handling, but here it is at its core:

extract(
  getcontentdetailsbyuuid(
    getconstantorruleuuidbyname("TEST_CONSTANT_NAME")
  ),
  "Id: ",
  ", Parent:"
)
