Hey Havejan ,

 

I see there are two ideas related to updating test cases via the CSV import functionality in the portal:

https://zephyr-scale-server-dc.ideas.aha.io/ideas/TM4JS-I-205

https://zephyr-scale-server-dc.ideas.aha.io/ideas/TM4JS-I-372

 

Please give your vote and comment, so that it helps the product managers with the backlog prioritization. Also, I'll check with them if we can merge those two ideas...

 

In the meantime, do you think that using the API could be an alternative to updating your test cases? A script that reads the csv file and post updates using the API would do the trick. It's obviously not the most straightforward solution, but I suppose that's a good workaround while this feature is not delivered:

    Hi vpelizza 

    thanks for your reply

    using the API is not an option because the ones that has to update it are not programmers. i have to create a specific task and reserve time for this and my dev-team is not to huge. But nevertheless i will take it into consideration

     

    Thanks Jan
