Rules

  • Reorder steps with increase / decrease sort order actions in the product and in the API.
  • Configuration values such as id, css, click, and load_page are metadata for targeting. They do not run automation by themselves.
  • Optional step text fields can be cleared after they already had text. Saving an empty value leaves the field empty.

Limits

  • An autotest step is a different element type. Playwright action names belong there, not on a test case step.
