Hi Tanya,
Has Dev replied to you on my last question, about how they recommend copying an entire project so that the internal IDs get re-generated for the new copy?
I have found absolutely no way that Ready API supports copying an entire project and re-factoring all of the project's internal IDs.
Thanks,
Ken
FYI, I have found one semi-work around, though it's clunky:
1. Create a new empty project
2. Save
3. Remove the project from Ready API
4. Open your empty project in a text editor
5. Copy the project's ID (e.g. <con:soapui-project [...] id="c3c5c38a-1d10-4c81-a390-6facdce7e3e2" [...] )
6. In a text editor, open one of your existing projects that's affected by this defect
7. Replace this project's ID with the one that you just copied from the new empty project.
This isn't perfect, since all items under the projects still have the same IDs, but at least it gives the project itself a new ID and Ready API will stop expanding the project at the top level at startup.
