Keyword Test Names not in Sync with Execution Plan

Hello, New to TestComplete.  

created a number of Keyword Tests and used these tests to build an Execution Plan.

I later edited the Keyword test names so they were more descriptive however noticed that the Keyword tests in the execution plan names are no longer in sync.

Is there and option to force the Execution plan to update using the updated Keyword test names? or must I rebuild the execution plan from scratch?

      Thank you. the link provided does not have any reference to the naming and that they are not kept in sync / unable to sync if modified. From what I read in other articles there is no  option to sync the names and there is not way to bulk update, I will need to manually rename the items in the execution plan.

      Learning experience, thank you for the reply!

        There are no options to update this automatically, you have to do this manually - "You will have to manually edit the execution entity", as highlighted in the green rectangle.

    TInTech  This is a bugbear of mine, I use scenarios and the best way I found around it was to create separate folders in the execution plan for groups of tests. So if I needed to update all test in the folder I would select them all,  delete them, then drag the scenario files I needed to the folder in the exe plan. I'm not sure how it would work with keyword tests, maybe you could try putting the tests in to a folder and see is you can drag the folder into the exe plan? 

    I hope this helps

    Hello,

    Do not confuse the columns "Name" with "Execution entity", your KeywordTests are referenced in the "Execution entity" and when you rename them they will reflects perfectly.

    When you click on "New Test Item" button, it will automatically select the project as a name and you will need to select and "Execution entity" https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/managing-projects/execution-plan/test-item-list.html 

    Hope this helps.

      Thank you for the addition detail.  You are correct I was blending the "Name" in the Execution plan and did not see the "Execution Policy" column which reflects the modified Keyword test name. this addresses my need.

      This inquiry is resolved, Thank you all who contributed to clarifying.
