Export -> Import

Hello together,

I want to bulk update test steps . 

What i am doing right now is to export all testcases in an XML , 

replace the text of the steps ( here it is a formation  of the text)   and then

i was looking for an update. 

But there is only an import of this xml. 

if i delete all testcases befor the import i got the same result. 

And this result is that Scale creates NEW testcase with NEW testkeys.  

But i want  to update the existing TestKeys.

Is there an simple possibillity? 

Thanks for all your help.

    There's some "Edit selected test cases in bulk" once you selected multiple test cases to be updated.

      Yes but, you can not edit steps in bulk. only status or something like this.  
      We migrate the testcases from old to new  and the formation is away.

      something like instead of   
      my*test*steps   =>

      • my
      • test
      • steps

      and that for all tests and steps

    Then, the only chance is via REST API. It allows to change the standard attributes (not the customized ones) to be changed in bulk.

    you can use the API to do this but it will not be in bulk it will be 1 call 1 update.

    You could potentially use postman testing to try this out to bulk update via the API using an excel file
