Change Object

Definition

With this Teststep type, objects from a previous Teststep are changed in-memory.

note

Note that a Change teststep can be used on a single object or on a list of objects, and that attribute values and associations specified in the teststep, will be applied to all objects!

To save the changes to the database, add a Persist step.

If the Test Case that this teststep is in, does not have Apply Security enabled, all attributes may be changed.
