Removing a Reference to a Reusable Statement

When you edit a reusable statement, Manual Tester automatically updates all the scripts that reference the statement. If you do not want Manual Tester to update all scripts, you can remove the reference for specific scripts.

To remove a reference to a reusable statement:
  1. Before you edit the original script, open the script that you do not want updated.
  2. In the Manual Tester Text Editor, click in the gray box of the reusable statement and from the Manual Tester menu click Edit > Make Statement Local.
    Note: To remove a reference to a group, click in the group folder heading. Removing a reference to a reusable group affects the entire group. You cannot remove a reference to specific statements within a group.

    Manual Tester removes the gray box from the reusable statement. Because the reference to the original script is broken, the reusable statement for this script is not updated when you edit the original script.

    Note: You can customize the background color of reusable statements. See Setting Manual Tester Preferencesfor more information.
