Thanks for your suggestion.

 

I haven't specified anything to be included in the log, the iteration number seems to be the default behaviour.

    Thanks for your input.

     

    I know how to write to the project log, but unfortunately that is not sufficient in this case. 

    If there is no way to update the test item name, then I will have to rethink my approach to this problem.

      A suggestion:

       

      Rather than using the "Count" property on the test item, add a for loop to your test case to loop through the 10 times.  Then use Log.AppendFolder and Log.PopFolder to build a tree structure in your test log to separate each time through the loop.  Log.AppendFolder has a text string parameter that you can use to title the "folder" that it creates so your log will reflect the 10 loops.
