That is disappointing, and short-sighted, and a lot of other words I could use 🙂
Something that might help is to use a custom field or use the label field to record the original test case ID. And then going forward use that label or custom field as your ID reference. Your workflow would then look like this:
Export test cases
Sent to testers
Testers update/you update
Add a new field to your Scale import template for label or a custom field that you've created
Transfer updated test case data to import sheet (remembering to transfer the test case ID)
Move test case ID into label or custom field
Upload data into Scale
Archive old test cases
In the Test Case screen view, add a column for Labels (or the new custom field you created)
Sort by that new column you just added, et voila!
I think that should work. Let me know if it does.
