RQM: Importing Manual Step Attribute from Excel to RQM

Hi,

I have an Excel with

Column A named as "Test Case Title"

Column B named as "Step No"

Column C named as "Description"

Column D named as " Expected Result "

Coumn E named as "Tester Action"

I have created a Manual Step attribute " Tester Action" in Manage my Project Properties. This enables me to see Another field by name Tester Action apart from Description and Expected Result at script Level.

I wanted to import the Tester Action from Excel file to the Tester Action field at script level in RQM. For this, I wrote the following config file, but it is not able to do so.

Can you please guide me.


testcase.dc:title=A2

testscript.XLSStartRow=2
testscript.dc:title=A
testcase.XLSLink=testscript

testscript.steps.type="execution"
testscript.steps.description=C
testscript.steps.title=B
testscript.steps.name=B
testscript.steps.expectedResult=D
testscript.customAttributes identifier="Tester_Action".name="Tester Action".type="STRING".value=G

I had a similar problem attempting to import custom attributes from WORD to RQM.

In our case we found that the customAttributes Identifier and Name must be identical.

In project properties, when you create the custom Attribute, it is showing the attribute Name.   At this point, when you create the attribute the system generates both Name and Identifier.  If you come back later and rename the attribute, the identifier is not changed.

Without visibility to the identifier, there is no way to know the connection between the attribute name and identifier is broken.  In my case this prevented the import from working correctly.  I removed the custom attribute and recreated it and used the name as it was created.  I was then able to import the custom attribute.  Below is the link to the forum post detailing this information.  Good luck

  Thanks David.
I created the custom attribute again and ensured the artifact ID and name remains same. Upon exporting, i get the error message

Sending testscript 0 named RQM_Export_template_ADD_DEV_WSC2_UI_01_1.xml...

Error sending to server RQM_Export_template_ADD_DEV_WSC2_UI_01_1.xml of type testscript

The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
