Is it possible to show the line of code how did you do that?And in which type of test step is the value required? And in how many such steps the same is needed?

Actually I want to load external data to a list in the test case setup script, then use this list in the "Groovy Script - Data Source" step. But it seems that the variable declared in setup script cannot be accessbile from test step.

If that is to be accessed in the groovy script, then there are two ways:1. Using context variable. However this works only if the test case is run at one. i.e., it won't work if you run the step separately2. Using custom property. Add the data as string (which might read it as string from source as well) and access that property in groovy step and have the logic to convert the string to list.

wdbian&nbsp;&nbsp;The best way is to store the list value in custom properties at TestCase level or store it in Properties step in your testcase.&nbsp;

Hope you are aware that properties only supports string type.
