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

[Ana Fragoso]

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

Hi @Ana Fragoso 

Sorry, currently, it is not possible, but it is a feature we have in the backlog to include in the product.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

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 :)

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?
