Accessing 'Gherkin' Keywords in the Test Logs (Looking for an urgent advice)

Hi, I need to access the 'When' in the test logs and add a picture to its 'Has Picture' column.  The problem is that the picture I need to add will be captured further down in the 'When' statements...

    Thank you for your reply. The picture is captured after performing some steps so logging it after When won't make a difference. I will try to find another solution.

    Can you please also share if we can add some actions/functionality in Feature files' Gherkin keyword Scenario and When, then etc.? Like if I want to add a counter with each Gherkin step that increments with the sequence? Example Test Case 1,2 and so on...

There's no way to go back and change a log line once it's been written. The only thing I can suggest is that you try to log the picture earlier, perhaps as the first step after the When.
