Hi All!

I am customsing the Test Plan Report so that I can show the both the steps, and extensions together, i.e.

Step 1

Step 2

    Extension 2a

    Extension 2b

Step 3

    Extension 3a

Step 4....

My repeats for both the Steps, and the Extensions work in isolation, but when I nest them (as below), the Extensions don't display between the rows of Steps as I would expect.

Does anyone know the correct way to achieve what I am trying to do? 

Regards

Stuart

Stuart,

Sorry, but the $repeatExtensionsNoSteps is only valid in the context of a use case. In other words, you can't get the extensions for just the current step.  But there's no reason it has to be that way, so I'll add this enhancement to be included as a fix for the next release.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Forgot to mention an alternative to the where clause you have for testing purposes: you can right click on a use case in the list and select generate word report from there.  The word generation dialog will come up with "generate for selected items only" chosen by default.  That way you don't accidentally run the report on the entire model.  Just thought I'd mention this because it's a handy shortcut that many people may not know about.

Many thanks Doug!

I thought this might be the case when I saw the list of valid contexts in the report documentation.  I saw the Extensions had parent keys linking to the Steps in exported XML and hoped it might work anyway. :-)

I am wanting to produce UAT scripts and the users will find it difficult to jump backwards and forwards in the document to test Extensions so I think this would be a valuable enhancement!

(Thanks also for the tip on testing reports by usecase!)

Have you got a planned date for the next release at this stage?

I thought that might be the next question ;-).  Sorry, no date that we're ready to publicly state yet.
