    Then your best option would be using Project Variable,

     

    • Store your values into Project Variables in 1st KeywordTest
    • Make use of that Project Variable in upcoming KeywordTests

Sorry, what I meant from Test Case was a Keyword Test and I am using KeywordTest and not Scripting. Thanks

    I was also wondering how would a checkpoint work in that case.

     

    So for Keyword Test1 I validated that client X was created using  property checkpoint.

     

    But since Keyword Test 2 edited the values of Test 1 from X to Y, how can I use checkpoint to validate that Y exist ? Specially if 'Y' is not a static value and it can be S, T or Q as well ? Thanks

      Project Variable also not static variables, you can assign/change values whereever you want

        Yes, but how do I do it ?

         

        So if I use Property Checkpoint it does not give me an option to choose a variable, instead it says choose an object whose property will be compared.
