    when I click on the EH section of the component I get these options

     

     

    They can only call scripts

     

     

     

    SmartBear has confirmed to me yesterday that you can only call scripts, although you can create a script that calls the KW test these can not be called directly

     

    SB has suggested that, since the UserForms are not the most frequently used tool this functionality is not lightly to change

    - it is a limitation that can easily be worked around and good to know this is the only option available here for now

Hello,

I am confused at what the end goal is here? Are we trying to trigger a script via keyword test, or trigger a keyword test in script?

You could drag and drop your script into the keyword test.

Or in any of the available scripting languages call: "Keywordtests.(Test Name).run()"

I hope this helps!

    I am trying to trigger a KW test from a button press

     

    I can call a script function in the event handler but I was trying to find if there was a more direct way
