Variable hierarchy is this:

Project Suite > Project > Test

If you want to share a variable between many projects, then it needs to be a Project Suite variable. If you want to share a variable between many tests within a project, then it needs to be a Project variable.

But I have a Project Suit with Common scripts.
I want to use those scripts in a different Project suite

I can import project into a suite.... and see those Varibles in that project..
However ....
1) I can't use those Project Var in another Project... ie Set Var
2) I can't use other project Scripts (python) in another Project... ie. Run Script Routine

What am I missing ??

  For sharing scripts and other items, refer to this:

  You may want to look into script extensions as is mentioned in the article.

  As I said, if you want to share variables between two Projects, then the variables must be Project Suite variables. In the screenshot here, your variables would need to be declared in Sandbox for both TestProject1 and TestProject2 to have access.
