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.

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.

Change Object Property Values Page - Central Area

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 Element	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.
