Attached is the soapui-settings.xml.
The clone action is from right click the test step and choose "clone teststep." Then I rearranged the cloned test step to a proper place by dragging it.
You may also try this scenario (my previous attachment AccountManagementService-soapui-project.xml fits this scenario) :
1. create a project file
2. import one or two existing project files
3 create a test suite with multiple test cases
4. clone a test case and rename it to something else
5. change some properties in the new test case by renaming the test steps, rename some of the variables inside the steps.
6. insert some additional steps such as groovy step, datasource step etc.
7. clone one or two more steps from the old test case to the new test case.
8. save project every time when you make a change
9. exit soapUI and reopen it.
I am not sure if you will be able to reproduce the issue or not since everyone scripts differently or the settings are different. Late yesterday afternoon, I had a 13-step testcase. I carefully saved every change by saving the project and at last exit SoapUI, then the changes I made were gone and it only had 7 steps left! I was quite frustrated. So for now, before you can pin point the problem, I will open a windows explorer and make sure that every change I make gets time-stamped in explorer (also make sure the file size is changed too). I also exit soapUI after I make a change (try not to write too many steps and close it at once) just to make sure it saves my change. I know it's a hassle, but I don't want to lose any more of my changes.
Thanks,
Li
