    You need to create the variable at the project or project suite level if you're using keyword tests

    If you're scripting you can add project or project suite variables in the script itself:

    Project.Variables.AddVariable("MyNewVariable", "String");

     

    Refer to the documentation for more information:

    Project/Project Suite Variables in keyword tests 

    Project/Project Suite Variables in scripts 

     

    Actually using them is much the same as in your original question in the other thread.

Highlevel scenario is same and I understand, we need to execute both the testcases in a sequence but here, I am trying to learn specifically how to declare variables globally / at project level in one test case and use it on another test case

 

1. How do I declare the variable Var1 as global or Project variable in Test1

2. How do I call this variable, Var1, in the keyword driven testing, to pass it as an input to the new field in Test2
