Remove TC section ID using testcase.ID=testscript.XLSArtifactID


Welborn Smith (144) | asked Aug 22 '12, 5:22 p.m.

Hello,

My spreadsheet has multiple cases and scripts on one tab for 1x1 linking as users do not care for multiple tabs.

Our naming convention needs to be retained as we start test cases with 'TC_' and test scripts with 'TS_'

My issue is that the test case is getting created with one new section, one named ‘ID’ with text containing the test script name.

From reading Hao’s reply to my previous post it sounds like this new section is being created in support of that one-to-one linking with different names  Is that correct?

If so is there any way to programmatically remove these sections after they are created?  I am able to update it with informative text but would rather remove it altogether if possible.

It appears that all is okay when I manually remove it so to clean things up  I'd like to include removing this new section in this process after linking the artifacts if at all possible.

Or am I still missing something...  An updated config is below.

Thanks again,

Scott
