Clone a Test Step

Copy a step within a Multi Steps Test Script, choose whether to include attachments, and review the new step before testing.

Clone a Test Step when you need another step with similar instructions, Test Data, and Expected Result in the same Test Case. The copy is added at the end of the script and can then be edited.

Before you begin

  • Open the intended Test Case version and its Test Script tab.

  • The script must use Multi Steps. Plain Text and BDD scripts do not use this individual-step cloning workflow.

  • Make sure you can edit the Test Case. Steps belonging to a reusable collection must be managed from that collection’s editor.

Clone one step

  1. Hover over the step you want to copy.

  2. Open its more options menu and select Clone Test Step.

  3. Review the dialog. Step, Test Data, and Expected Result are included in this single-step workflow.

  4. Leave Attachments selected to copy the step’s attached files, or clear it to omit those attachments.

  5. Select Clone.

  6. Find the new step at the bottom of the script and review its content.

Review the copy

  • Change the instructions, data, and expected outcome for the new scenario.

  • Move the step if it belongs elsewhere in the script.

  • Open any copied media or attachments to confirm they are relevant and available.

  • Check existing Test Runs before continuing. A script change does not automatically retest an existing run.

The copied step has its own content; editing it does not edit the original step. If you need shared instructions maintained in one place, review calling a Test Case instead.
