Inflectra Customer Forums: Filter test cases while adding them into Test Sets (Thread) Hi, We are struggling with the following workflow. Can you advise how to overcome this seeming limitation? We have tests organized in many folders/subfolders by different applications/modules/features. The tests in those folders have custom properties denoting their Automated status. We have both automated and not automated tests side by side in the same folders. Now, we want to create separate test sets for the same folder trees recursively based on the Automated status. However, when selecting a test case folder and using Add tests to test set feature, we cant filter the tests in any way. Applying the filter in the Test Case folder first and then adding the test cases also doesnt help. en-US(C) Copyright 2006-2026 Inflectra Corporation.support@inflectra.com/Computers/Software/Project_Management//Computers/Software/Quality_Assurance/KronoDesksupport@inflectra.comhttp://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/forums/threads120/Support/Forum/spiratest/issues-questions/2166.aspxthreadId=2166Filip Krivsky (Filip.Krivsky@Monster.com)Filter test cases while adding them into Test Sets Hi, We are struggling with the following workflow.

This means we have to do this for each folder individually, r Hi David, thanks for quick response. This means we have to do this for each folder individually, right? Im looking for a solution for whole folder trees, as we have quite a few of those...

No, its not necessary to filter each folder separately. First, make sure Hi Filip, Good question. No, its not necessary to filter each folder separately. First, make sure you are at the Root level . Then apply the filter. That will show all test cases that match the filter, regardless of their folder.

Is it possible to do something like this (filter in folders recursively), but on other than just Root level?

Give a try and see! When you are at the Root le Hi Filip, Ill try again to explain how it works. Give a try and see! When you are at the Root level, and then you filter by Custom prop=Automated then it will show all automated test cases, regardless of their folder, in one list. I think that is what you need, if I understand you correctly.

It Hi Kat, You understand correctly, unfortunately, your proposed workflow doesnt work for me... It looks like it works the way you describe only on Root folder level. When I drill down to subfolders, only testcases in the current folder are filtered and displayed. The Spira version we use is 6.1.0.1.
