Edit common Test Case properties directly from the list. This is useful when you want to make a small change without opening the full case.
Before you edit
Locate the case and check its key, version, and current context. Your account needs the relevant edit or assignment permission. Show the column you need using the list’s column selector if it is hidden.
Change type, priority, or status
Find the case in the Test Case list.
Select its current Type, Priority, or case Status value. Point to the cell if the edit control is not visible.
Choose the new value from the available options.
Wait for the update and confirm the row shows the new value.
The options come from the configuration available to that Jira space. Case Status describes the Test Case; it is different from the result recorded during a Test Run.
These screenshots show type and priority editing in an earlier layout.
Change assignee or owner
Select the person or unassigned icon in the Assignee or Owner column.
Search for the person you want and select the matching account. Choose Unassigned when appropriate.
Wait for the update and check the displayed person.
Assignments can depend on the folder, work item, or Test Plan iteration you are viewing. Check the context before changing the assignee; this is different from the person who last executed the case.
Change the headline
Point to the headline and select the Edit Headline pencil.
Edit the text, then select the checkmark to save or cancel to keep the current text.
See edit a Test Case headline for limits and naming examples.
Check the result
Review any error message before continuing. If the case no longer appears after an edit, check your active filters: the updated value may no longer match them.
For descriptions, scripts, attachments, and other detailed changes, open the Test Case. To review recorded changes, see Test Case history.
