Hi,

 

I don't think this is actually available even though it says it is.  It has been requested as a feature enhancement on the ideas board for both server and cloud.  I've posted a couple of links to those 'ideas' below (for the Server version) where you could add your vote if you wish (I've added mine).  Sorry that doesn't help you with your immediate requirement though.

 

As a user, I can upload datasets via | Zephyr Scale Server/DC Ideas (aha.io)

 

As a user, I can import parameters & | Zephyr Scale Server/DC Ideas (aha.io)

 

Best, Andy

    Thanks MisterB for prompt answer.


    I hope that SmartBear will update the manual so as not to confuse anyone. Of course, a desirable solution is that other data sources for DDT approach are also natively supported by Zephyr DC, at least .csv file.

    This is a must have to support data driven testing as well as migrating or aligning automated tests to manual tests.  When will this functionality be added,  I'm really not wanting to type 50+ rows * 10 columns of data.  There isn't even the ability to past the data.

      And I read that this could be done and told my manager that it could be done.  Now to find out it can't be done is mud in my face and mud in Zephyr's face.
