    I would also recommend reaching out to your SmartBear rep to see if there is any concrete plan dates on the Roadmap. 

     

    They may have an answer or may even loop in folks on the product team. 

     

    As for a workaround, in some projects we have used Gherkin syntax in test steps for manual test cases. 

     

    For automated test cases these steps are automatically parsed into the test case via Vortex if it is automatically creating a test case
