Test Case interruption clears prior Step Responses

I run a Test Case consisting of:
* Test Request #1
* Property Transfer (from #1 Response to #2 Request)
* Test Request #2
* Property Transfer (from #1 Response and #2 Response to #3 Request)
* Test Request #3

My second Property Transfer step fails. I correct the problem. Then I go back to my (open) Test Case, select the second Property Transfer step, right-click and choose "Run from here." The Property Transfer step fails, because Test Requests #1 and #2--which have already executed successfully in this Test Case--no longer have anything in their Response tabs.

Why does soapUI erase the Response messages from all Test Request steps above the one that I select for "Run from here"?

    This has been a problem in SOAPUI for as long as I an remember! (Since April atleast!!) Sorry I don't have an answer! But Eviware should really try to address the issue - it's a RPITA!

    Hi guys,

    thanks for bringing this up, this should be an easy fix.. maybe it should be optional somehow?

    regards!

    I'm not sure that it should be optional.

    What is the use case for clearing prior responses when a Test Case is interrupted and then restarted? (Clearing prior response messages often results in property transfers failing after the Test Case is restarted.)

    I agree I came across this too and its not a great experience..its a RPITA.. i agree..since I would like to go back and look at the responses later on but they are gone..

    this problem becomes a SHOWSTOPPER when you use property transfers because once the responses are cleared then the property transfer fails because it has to get some data from the responses which are now NOT there
