set a date from a testcase property

Question

hi,i have a testcase where i have a date field where i always want to have the actual date from today and not a fixed date from the datepicker. so i did a simple groovy script to generate todays date, store it as a testsuite property and would like to import that testsuite property into the date field.but whenever i close the request and reopen it i have the date in there and not the property value anymore.is there a way to keep the property value?thanks,Christoph

Hi Ole,i want to do something like this request from a database:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; AnyUser&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Module&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; IContract&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Login&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2008-06-10T00:00:00.000+02:00&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2008-06-12T00:00:00.000+02:00&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;where i would like to replace the Date in 2008-06-10T00:00:00.000+02:00 with a date from a property: ${#TestSuite#TodaysDate} (currently set to Wed Jun 11 16:39:07 CEST 2008)so the createdFrom should look like this: ${#TestSuite#TodaysDate}thanks,Chris

Hi,ok.. and you're saying that when you enter this property-expansion in the form field, it gets expanded/removed when you open/close the request? Which version/build are you running?regards!/Oleeviware.com

Hi,yes, i try to select it on the form and it is displayed, but when i switch to the xml then there the date is still shown and when i switch back to the form the date there is shown again.i originally created the request in the service with a date set, then copied it to a testcase and wanted to select the property extension.i tried to enter it manually in the xml and this works.i am using version 2.0.2regards,Chris

i got the same problem. Maybe the date format fields are not accesable with properties ? have you tried to paste the propertyextension directly into the xml ?
