    While I have not actually tried this, the documentation...

     

    https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/testing/properties/expansion.html#scopes

     

    ...states "To refer to properties in other test suites or test cases, use the full "path" to specify the desired scope.
    The "path" part is enclosed in square brackets.", with the example:

     

    ${#[Suite name#Case name#Step name]#Property name}

     

    Take a read of the docs for a more complete explanation.

Hi aaronpliu ,

 

I would suggest you to set the property value dynamically, by using following set of code,

def valueToSet = "value to set"
testRunner.testCase.testSuite.testCases["Case 1"].setPropertyValue("property name", valueToSet);

      It seems that you set the custom property as testCase label not testStep label.
      And are you sure custom property is called properly when you run the testStep. Did you check to run manually step by steps ? 

      testStep should have the reference of that custom property.

      You can follow this in your groovy scipt - 

      def project = context.testCase.testSuite.project
def TestSuite = project.getTestSuiteByName("TestSuite_Name")
def testCase1 = TestSuite.getTestCaseByName("Case 1")
def testStep1 = testCase1.getTestStepByName("REST Step 1")
def testStep2 = testCase1.getTestStepByName("REST Step 2")
def testCase2 = TestSuite.getTestCaseByName("Case 2")
      def groovyStep = testCase2.getTestStepByName("Groovy Step 1")

      // To retrive the property - from testStep => In your case you don't need this.
      def customProperty = testStep1.getPropertyValue("UserID")

      // To retrive the property - from testCase; if you already have the custom property set and value is defined
      def customProperty = testCase1.getPropertyValue("UserID")

      // You have to set custome property to your testStep (I guess the problem appears here)
      // I don't know the testStep property name where the `userID` value will be set. so just change the name of this property
      testStep1.setPropertyValue("testStepProperty", customProperty) 

      Execute
      groovyStep.run(testRunner, context)

       

      Hope this would work.
