It possible to import test cases with associated datasets using the test case importer?

Question

Hello

I'm using Xray in Jira and I would like to know if it possible to import test cases with associated datasets using the test case importer?
If possible how it is done?

Thanks in advance

@Srinivasan Anantharaman @Rogério Paiva - Xray Xporter @Jay Burgess Is this possible to import test cases with associated datasets using the test case importer now? If so anyone who have used could share the sample CSV and what fields have to be mapped.

I see the same thing.  Thanks for confirming.

However, I noticed when using Xray Document Generator, the exported Excel strips the parameter placeholders.  For example, instead of exporting the Action "On screen ${SCREEN}, select...", my export says "On screen , select...".

I realize that the Dataset data is not being exported, but stripping the parameter placeholder from the Action makes most of my Steps unreadable.

Is there a way to force these parameter placeholders to not get stripped?

it would be nice to see this feature soon. @Rogério Paiva - Xray Xporter Can you please provide a reference to this backlog issue (if possible)

Just to add on this note: I have tried using the parameter in the Test Step / Data column during the test case import eg: ${User}. The dataset once defined with the same name it gets mapped :)
