    Clone your resource or method. Set the parameter as Required for one of the copies and not Required on the other.

Hello JHunt,

 

I didn't though about cloning the operation.

 

It would be nice if there was something built-in rather than using this hack though (like a checkbox that 'Pass this parameter with an empty value').

 

Thank you for your quick answer !

    For starters I do agree with ncelerier.

    Secondly, I have (just at this moment and we're just creating the POC) 3 teststuites with each at least 7 teststeps. If I need to clone (in the future or now) all those teststeps I'm more doing manually testing as I'm automating. Wondering why I let my company buy ReadyAPI licenses....

    this should be an Enhancement on ReadyAPI. It should be possible to send or don't send a parameter in the SOAPUI Pro instead of creating a lot of Projects URL's or cloning each test step.
