Is there a way to import a manual test script with variables defined in the steps from Excel/Word import tool into RQM?

Hi,

I have a customer asking whether we have a way to import a test script from Excel with a variable in the step itself. Based on my understanding of this capability, we can only bring variables from Excel import tool into RQM if the variable is under a separate column and associated to a test case not test script. Is this understand correct? I know you can substitute a variable against some text within a step of a manual test script. However, is there a way to define that in your configuration file or Excel file before import?

Appreciate any feedback on this matter!

Thanks!
