    Hey CByler,

    The reason why you cant change the resource in the teststeps is because the teststep is a child record of the REST API you defined previously.

    Essentially in ReadyAPI or SoapUI, you create the api (which is the parent) and then you subsequently create the child teststep record (which sources all the info needed - i.e. full URL including path, query, matrix, and header parms if set, along with the authentication/authorisation and payload if present).

    If you want to change the resource, you need to go back to the api and update it there, the change will then be reflected in your teststep.

    Cheers,
