Yes Renuka it is possible using Excel Importer. Try below .cfg syntax

categoryType.XLSStartRow=2
categoryType.dc:title=A
categoryType.XLSArtifactID=A
categoryType.dependsOn=Link(C)
// case sensitive
categoryType.scope="TestCase"
categoryType.required="false"
categoryType.multiSelectable="false"

category.XLSStartRow=2
category.dc:title=B
category.XLSArtifactID=B
category.categoryType=link(A)

Hi ratani , thanks , i think i figured out the excel myself. i want to know what all values can this command have categoryType.scope

Please validate if the following is fine. I was not sure , as it is mentioned that it is case sensitive also and i could not find much documentation on this

categoryType.scope="TestPlan"

categoryType.scope="Keywords"

categoryType.scope="TestSuite"

categoryType.scope="TestScript"

For TCER can u tell what it would be.
