Inline Editing Xray Tests

Xray Test issue sections support inline editing similar to Jira native and custom fields inline edit. This prevents full page reloads when modifying fields.

Below is a example of the available editing inline fields for a Test of type "Cucumber."

Inline Edit Fields

To inline edit a field, just hover over the field view area and click it.

The following Test fields support inline edit:

  • Type: The Test issue type
  • Definition: The automated generic test definition (only visible for Generic tests)

To inline edit automated Test issues:

Step 1: If you are inline editing a Cucumber Test: 
- You can hover over the actual Test Type, click it, and change it to another type that is available on the select box.
- You can hover over the Scenario field, click it, and edit its contents.

Step 2: If you are inline editing a Generic Test:
- You can hover over the actual Test Type, click it, and change it to another type available on the select box.
- You can hover over the Definition field, click it, and edit its contents.

Changing the Type of a Test

Info

In the Global Preferences, Xray allows you to configure if a test definition is deleted or not. - You may not have access to this in your instance as this is restricted to the Jira administrator.

If enabled, the previous Info details will be deleted.

Otherwise, the info details will not be deleted, and it'll be possible to undo the Test Type change operation and keep the previous information.

Additionally, in both cases, because each pre-condition must be of the same Type of the Test, any associated Pre-Conditions will be lost
