What is call to copy of actions?


When you insert a call to a copy of an action into a test, the original action is copied in its entirety, including checkpoints, parameterization, the corresponding action tab in the Data Table, plus any defined action parameters.

If the test you are copying uses per-action repository mode, the copied action's object repository is also copied together with the action.

If the test into which you are copying uses a shared object repository, the copied action will use the same shared object repository as the calling test.

If you are working in a test that uses per-action object repository mode, you cannot copy an action from a test using a shared object repository.

The action is inserted into the test as an independent, non-reusable action (even if the original action was reusable).

Any changes you make to this action after you insert it affect only this action, and changes you make to the original action do not affect the copied action.
