Status of test cases of cloned test cycles

Is it possible to link/clone test cases in a new test cycle but to have the status as To Do?

I see that I can create/clone new test cycles but the status is always the same as the original status.  If I change the status, then it also changes the status of the original test cycle and I don't want that to happen.

  • Hi kweiss1​ ,  

    When you clone a Test Cycle, it creates a completely separate entity with its own unique key. Any modifications made to the new Test Cycle itself will not affect the original cycle it was cloned from.

    A single test case can be linked to multiple test cycles or runs. However, its core asset details (like Status --> To Do) remains identical across the system.  you can create a new version of the test case and have a separate status and utilize the new version in a test run.

    Note: Also, the execution status like Pass, Fails is isolated and uniquely maintained within each specific run.  

    I hope the above answer your question.

    Hi.  Your colleague answered my question.  I didn't realize QMetry had a column for "Status" and "Execution Status" and the latter is the key one when you link various test cycles to existing tests.  I'm all set.
