Howto "unshare" shared project items

We have projects were items are shared across the project Suite.  However, in many cases the sharing has been abused and is not appropriate for a particular item.  We need to update our test suite such that these particular shared items are unshared so that each project has its own, distinct copy.

 

Because we have so many of these (mostly stores items), it would be nice if TestComplete has a feature that does so automatically, rather than a brute-force, multi-stepped approach for each item.

 

Does such a capability exist?

 

Thanks.

  • Unfortunately, no.  Basically, "sharing" is linking items to multiple projects.  So, the only way to do what you want to do is to "remove" the link and then generate a copy of the item and add that to the other project.
