Automated Test Framework (ATF) preserving configuration after Clone

[J_Barratt]

Hello,

We are seeing an issue after we clone where some of the ATF test steps are not being preserved in our Test instance. In the screenshot below I have highlighted the field that is being wiped:

After the clone this field is empty and is required to be filled in on all tests for this to run correctly. In our source instance for the clone, we have preserved all the sys_atf* tables. Any ideas where this field might be stored?

Thanks.

Try the 'atf_input_variable' table.

Please mark this as the correct answer if I've answered your question.  Thanks!

We have that one preserved also.

When I look at the table I don't see any new records being added to the table when we modify the Record field.

I thought Best Practice was to migrate ATF Tests through to your production instance so they can be cloned down and you don't lose them.  Is there a reason you are instead attempting to exclude them from clones?

Wasn't aware of that Best Practice. We currently only run the Tests on our Test instance so that is why we made the decision to only keep them on Test.
