RQM Excel Importer: How to link new TCER to existing Test Plan from Excel to RQM?
One answer
You write that you're trying to link a TCER to an existing Test Plan, but executionworkitem.testphase=LinkExisting() would like the TCER to a test schedule that may or may not be part of the test plan.

Reading Configuration File....
Getting artifacts from document - "Initial_RQM_Import_test.xlsx".....
Error: Configuration File, Line 63, Found a value that reduced to "LinkByExistingID(C3)", but was expecting a value equivalent to a column, cell, or literal.
*** Exporting Aborted: Errors found! ***
I can link the test case to an existing test plan wihout problem by using this:
But to link new TCER to an existing test plan, it is not working and no failure message (executionworkitem.testplan=LinkExisting(C3). I thought the problem was the testphase. This is why I also tried to associate the TCER to the related testphase of the testplan (executionworkitem.testphase=LinkExisting(C3))
That's unfortunate. I would have thought either the way I wrote it or the way you wrote it (executionworkitem.testplan=LinkExisting(C3)) would work. I have had success with executionworkitem.testplan=Link(C3) when simultaneously importing the TCER and the Test plan. This should work when C3 contains the XLSArtifactID, not the URL. I'm not sure why testcase.testplan.link=C3 is working with the URL, but maybe the syntax is different than testcase.testplan=Link(C3).
- executionworkitem.testphase=LinkExisting(C3) -- Error for exporting
- executionworkitem.testplan=LinkByExistingID(C3) -- Error, didn't understand that C3 was a cell
- executionworkitem.testplan=LinkExisting(C3) -- No linking and no error
- executionworkitem.testplan=Link(C3)
- executionworkitem.testplan.link=C3
- executionworkitem.testplan=Link(C3)

No failure from the tool but the testplan is not updated.
- executionworkitem.testplan.link=C3
- No failure from the tool but the testplan is not updated.
