[Feature Request] Getting data from all project items

Currently the "Get Data" functionality is only available in the same scope and upwards, e.g. Test step -> Test suite -> Project. However I often face the situation where I need to get data from other scopes.

Examples

  • A test step needs to get data from another test case in the same test suite.

  • A test step needs to get data from another test case in another test suite.


So, it would be helpful to get data from all project items. It is of course possible to do this via a Groovy script but I would prefer a soapUI feature.

Regards,
Robert

    Hi!

    I don't think that it's a good idea to rely on out-of-scope resources, as this can result in a dependency mess. A TestCase should be independent and TestCases within a TestSuite should ideally be able to run in any order.

    For this reason, we will probably not make shortcuts for this.
