    Here is the sudo steps to achieve the same.
    Write a script (you can add it in a temporary suite/test case.
    1. You might know to which test step the request needs to be updated based on its service or Method
    2. Based on that, define all method names into a list.
    3. Iterate thru all the test cases and if particular request method is found in your list then do the replacement (which you already have the logic)

    Once the requests are updated, remove that temporary suite/test case.

    So, single script can handle to update and you don't need to add the script in each and every test case.

So you need to do this in 200 separate test cases? I don't know of a way you could do this without adding this script to all of them. You might be able to make it work using an event listener but it would be a little hacky.

    Is there any way to do getting JSON path, Setting the field value over there.

        Hi nmrao,

         

        Thanks for the help, Actually what is the scenario is, Dev team added extra field to the RQ, We have test cases 12, test steps are more than 1500, It is difficult to update each Test step to the test case,  That's why I want to Automate this process. Please help me in this.

         

        Here is the steps for scenario,

        1. I have a test case in that I have 1500 test steps(RQ).

        2. I need to add the Generation time field to each RQ.

        3. Is there any way to display in the RQ that field.

         

        Thanks in Adavance.
