As a workaround you can do like below,

 

Keywordtests.<generic_keyword_test_name>.variables.<variable_name> = "local_variable_value"

To handle this,

var str_keywordtestname = "KeywordTest1";

var objKeyword = eval("Keywordtests." + str_keywordtestname);

 dynamic variable.

objKeyword.variable.VariableByName("MsgVar");
