ATF Test Suite issue

[George P]

When I save changes to a Test which is a member of a Test Suite, all tests in the Test Suite get removed.

I can not share screenshots as this is on an isolated network.

I have a Test Suite with 5 tests currently.  I made changes to one of the tests and saved the test.  Upon refresh of the Test, it was still listed as a member of the Test Suite.  However, when I refresh the Test Suite, there are no tests related to the suite.  I then refresh the updated test and that also shows no Test Suite.

I plan to build this out with several more (potentially dozens) tests.  Having to re-add them after a change and reset the sequence is going to become a huge waste of time down the road.

Why is the Test Suite being cleared after updating a single related Test?

Test suites typically pickup the tests based on the filter conditions. So if for example you name the test at the beginning the same you can they should automatically be pulled into the suite. For example the filter on my Service catalog is Active is True and name start with company name: Service Catalog.

Apparently I had a filter and was manually adding records that did not match the filter.  The system was not happy with that.
