Hi, you still could create the copy for this case. But when select the same plan , TCMS disable the 'create a link ', but only create a copy. 'Copy' means another case but with same content of this case. 'Link' means same case, so couldn't be added to same plan. I think you need to follow my instructions. You are locking out the ability to make a copy in the same test plan. "(Unchecking will create a link to selected case)" I DON'T WANT to make a link in the same test plan, I want to "Xerox" the case and then edit the result w/new content (setup, expected results, &c). In this way many test cases with very similar steps/setup/breakdown and one change can be made from a single "master" case. This is a regression of a useful function. Unless someone specifically requested the preventative step, please restore the previous functionality. most user clone a case and modify it as a new case, so copy a case in one test plan should be supported. will be fixed in tcms 3.8.0. Created attachment 595311 [details]
screenshot of current functionality in 3.7.0
This appears to have been fixed in 3.7.0. Select "in same test plan" leaves
"Create a copy" checkbox deselected, but I can manually select it.
steps
1. click "clone case."
2. check "create a copy.
3. click "use the same plan" radio button.
=> "Create a copy" checkbox is deselected.
4. Re-select "create a copy" checkbox.
=> "Create a copy" checkbox is selected.
5. Click clone.
=> A unique copy is created.
Please reconfirm in your dev environment, if the functionality is intact, this
bug report can be closed with my thanks. ,:)
Confirmed on dev environment,this bug has been fixed. So close it. |
