Copy and paste steps

Learn how to copy and paste test steps in Low Code Automation to streamline test creation and improve efficiency.

Copy and paste lets you duplicate single or multiple test steps within the same test or across different tests in the same project. You can copy steps both in the recorder and outside it.

You can:

• Copy one or more steps and paste them within the same test.
• Copy steps from one test and paste them into another test in the same project.
• Paste a single copied selection into multiple tests without copying it again.
• Paste steps in bulk, either between any two existing steps or at the end of the test.
• Retain step configurations, including validations, custom locators, and failure logic.

Copy and paste steps in the recorder

To copy and paste steps in the recorder:

You can also copy and paste steps without launching the recorder. Click Tests in the left pane, open the test you want to edit, and use the same copy and paste actions on the Test steps tab.

Pasted steps are retained after you save the test, and saving creates a new test version that you can see on the Version history tab.

Copy and paste steps in a module

You can copy individual steps into and out of modules. The following cases aren’t allowed:

Points to remember

• You can copy a maximum of 10 steps at a time.
• The steps you select don’t have to be consecutive. You can select any combination of steps in a test and paste them together into another test.
• If you copy a step that is using a variable, also copy the step that created that variable. Otherwise, the pasted step fails. The step that creates the variable must come first in the pasted order.
• The first step of a test can’t be copied.
• You can’t copy an if-else conditional block of steps. Instead, copy the individual steps inside the conditional block.
• You can paste steps only into tests in the same project.
