Change Object Property Values Page (Maintenance Run Wizard)

Relevant for: GUI tests and components

This wizard page enables you to update the property values of the object in the associated object repository to match the property values of the object to which you pointed in the application.

The Change Object Property Values page opens when the object to which you pointed is of the same class as the object in your step, but it has different description property values.

Important information

If the object to which you point has a different parent object than the one in the object repository and has different property values, the Change Object Property Values page opens twice. The first time it enables you to update the parent object of the object in the object repository to match the parent object of the object to which you pointed. The second time it enables you to update the object in the object repository to match the object to which you pointed.

Maintenance Run Wizard Workflow

User interface elements of the central area of the Change Object Property Values page are described below (unlabeled elements are shown in angle brackets):

UI Elements

Description
Object

The object in an associated object repository that is of the same class as the object to which you pointed in the application.

Object Properties

A table displaying the changes that will be made to the property values of the object in the object repository.
Property

The name of the property whose value will be changed.
Original Value

The original property value of the object in the object repository.
New Value

The new property value for the object in the object repository, based on the object to which you pointed in the application.
<Recommended regular expression>

Depending on the object to which you pointed, the Change Object Property Value page may include a message that a regular expression can be used to update the property value of the object in the associated object repository. You can modify the suggested regular expression in the edit box. For details on regular expressions, see Regular expressions.

Note:  

  • If the Maintenance Run Wizard does not determine that a regular expression is relevant for the new property value, the Change Object Property Value page does not display the suggested regular expression below the properties table. The Update the <property name> property to use the regular expression and rerun the step radio button is also not displayed.

  • In a situation where more than one property can use a regular expression, the Maintenance Run Wizard suggests a regular expression only for the first property value.

User interface elements are described below:

UI Elements

Description
Update the object property and rerun the step

Updates the property values of the object in the object repository to match those of the object to which you pointed in the application, and reruns the step. The new property values are shown under New Value.
Update the <property name> property to use the regular expression and rerun the step

Displayed only if the property value can be updated to use a regular expression. Updates the property value of the object in the object repository with the regular expression as shown in the edit box, and reruns the step.
Add the object as a new object in the local object repository, and then update and rerun the step

Adds the object to which you pointed, with its current properties, as a new object in the local object repository. This new object may already exist in an associated object repository. Depending on whether the object you want to add already exists in an associated object repository, one of the following pages opens:
Keep the original object properties, add a comment, and continue to the next step

Keeps the original object properties of the object in the object repository. Opens the Add Comment page, enabling you to add a comment before the step, and then continues to the next step.
Reset

Returns to the Object Not Found page, where you can point to a different object in the application or choose a different course of action for this step.
