RQM and RPE use of Test Data
I have created test scripts with associated test data. I can run this offline and execute the script from Excel with all of the test data populated.
I now want to be able to export this to RPE to allow the test script and test data to be published. I can produce the Test Plan, with Test Cases and Test Scripts, but the Test Scripts only show the field name of the test data. Is it possible for the RPE export to contain the script and Test data as is shown in the excel off-line execution?

I am afraid we cannot get data records through RQM's REST API. I could get only field names on using datapool/variables/variable/name.
However, we can get the .csv file in RPE report using datapool/attachment/href. You may refer the following link that briefs how to have attachments as OLEs in the output.

Thanks for the response.
Does this also mean that if you are using test data as part of the test script and run the test script, you also cannot output to RPE the results against each the test data?
Is there another method I should use to manage test data so I can create scripts from data sets and output to RPE?
Thanks for your help.

Yes. Following the CSV is an alternative. Note that only variable names are exposed by RQM Reportable REST API and hence you cannot show test data in RPE output.
