Is it Possible to use CurrentTest as
I sometimes use Code Expressions as a parameters to call other tests or scripts. But, I have not found an easy way to copy/paste these test step into another test without having to manually update t...

Champion Level 3This does seem like too many steps. Could you put in some actual code that's working now along with a sample call?
Here is a screenshot of what I am doing to show the setup on how the test is called: (I also do something similar to call some scripts too.)
You can see I have a keyword test which takes in 9 parameter values, in order to make a backup of the data I want to preserve. Note that the 7th parameter is a Code Expression, which refers to a variable specific to the test being executed in the test "CSA_Maint_Copy_CSA_and_Verify_Default_Values_Flow"The Keyword test which I am calling is a generic method which I reuse across many tests, so only the parameters values it receives change.
The problem is... when I copy (control-c) the step which calls the generic method, and paste it in to another test, I then have to manually update the test name from "CSA_Maint_Copy_CSA_and_Verify_Default_Values_Flow" to reflect the new test name that I have created (let's say "CSA_Maint_Copy_CSA_and_Verify_Employees_Flow"). If there was a "currenttest" or "this.test" reference that I could use instead of the test name, then it would save the manual editing of these parameters with each new test created.- Marsha_R
I have tried to work with that method also, but haven't been successful. The suggestions that TC gives doesn't offer the Parameters or Variables to be appended to Project.TestItems.Current.Name
When I try use something along those lines, it throws an Exception during runtime for either parameters or variables if you try to setup similar to this...
"Project.TestItems.Current.Name.Parameters.StationNumber"Apparently, the Current.Name method doesn't extend to also allow for the use of the test's Parameters or Variables...
