Is it possible to create Test Cases that link to existing Test Scripts using the Excel/Word Importer in RQM?
I have a Project Area with several Test Scripts that I'd like to create matching Test Cases for using the Excel/Word importer. I downloaded the Test Scripts to csv file and then planned to import at least Name and Description columns as Test Cases.
This part works fine but I'd also like to link the Test Case to the Test Script at the same time. I have the Test Script ID value from the download csv.
Is this possible?
I found this in the Team Wiki for the Importer. It sounds like it only works the other way around if the Test Cases already exist and you're importing Test Scripts to link.
I was able to use the sample where Test Scripts get created with matching Test Cases and linked together, but in my case the Test Script already exist
i.e.
testplan links with testcase, then test plan is master artifact and testcase is sub/child artifact.
test case link with test script, then test case is master test artifact, and test script is child artifact.
test suite link with test case, then test suite is master test artifact, and test case is child artifact.

LinkExisting()
modifier - indicates a reference to the master test artifacts, content is the external id or the excel cell/column that stores the external id of the master artifact on RQM server.
i.e.
testplan links with testcase, then test plan is master artifact and testcase is sub/child artifact.
test case link with test script, then test case is master test artifact, and test script is child artifact.
test suite link with test case, then test suite is master test artifact, and test case is child artifact.
Accepted answer
Hi Michael,
for this scenario, you can using Link() modifier.
testcase.testscript=Link("test script internal/external id")
