How to change the summary of each testcase in a testplan without creating a new testplan.

Question

Hello,

I created a testplan in TMX, which has multiple executions in it already. The testplan consists of around 400 testcases and I want to change the title (summary) of nearly all of them. How can I do this besides manually selecting each testcase and changing the title by hand. Bulk change does not work as it is no editable field.

I don't know exactly what is the purpose of your request; if you can elaborate why you need that, it would be helpful to get some additional context.

Nevertheless, the way I think you can do it would be to:

* export the Test issues to CSV, making sure you have the Test issue summary and the Test issue key as columns on the CSV, as detailed here
* edit that CSV in Excel, Google Spreadsheets or similar
* import them back using Jira's CSV importer; Jira CSV importer can update existing issues as detailed here

HI @Tony Dienel

Looking at the Xray documentation DC or Cloud. I don't see options to do this, not even via the API.

The best suggestion I can give is to reach out the the developer of Xray and ask if thisi is possible.

If so or no, could you please provide their response here?
