How to add a value in an Embedded list from a form/record in ATF

[FrancisL]

Hello Community,

I am kind of stuck here. In an ATF test step, I try to add an Entity in an "Entity type record". In an ATF test step, which is "Record Update", i am not able to add an entity on the Entity "Embedded list" on the record. The field is not displayed in the "choose field" Field values selection. See print screen below.

Here is a Print screen of what i try to acheive with ATF. Add an Entity in the "Entities" tab list(embedded list) in an "Entity Type" record.

Embedded lists display a list of related records within the form view. An embedded list is not a field on the record but a component for displaying related records for ease of navigating relational data.

For what you are trying to do you would need to lookup the embedded list and identify the table and field used in the relationship. Then you could either use an insert record step to create a new record and associate it to your entity type record or update an existing record to create the association to your entity type record. Either way you wouldn't be able to do this as an update record action on the entity type.

If you provide the use case for your ATF we can help determine the best way to configure your test but its not possible to use an update record to "add" items to an embedded list for the record being updated in the way you are presenting.

Hi @FrancisL 

Record Update is used to Update/Changes field values on a pre existed record on the server.

As far I understand your motive here is that you need to add new entity, for this you need to create a new entity by using Open new form, setting the fields and submitting. This way only you can add. If you need to on that particular record you have to use Click List UI button for clicking new button and setting the fields and submitting.
