There is a limit in ATF that using the Set Form Value or Record Insert test step on condition fields is not possible as ATF believes such fields are read-only.

The workaround for this limit is to skip the read-only UI validation by directly setting the value of the condition fields at the server side.

For example:

1. Create a new Test

2. Create the first step of the test and choose 'Server' ==> 'Run Server Side Script', make the step on the target table that your test works on

3. Use a script to set the 'condition' field. The following is an example of it:

(function(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual) {
    // add test script here
  var testGr = new GlideRecord("<target table>");
  testGr.initialize();
  testGr.setValue("<condition field>", "<encoded query string>");
  testGr.setWorkflow(false);
  var newRecordSysId = testGr.insert();
  var newTestGr = new GlideRecord("<target table>");
  if (newTestGr.get(newRecordSysId)) {
        stepResult.setOutputMessage("Successfully inserted <target table> record");
        outputs.table = "<target table>";
        outputs.record_id = newRecordSysId;
        return true;
    } else {
        stepResult.setOutputMessage("Failed to insert <target table> record");
        return false;
    }

})(outputs, steps, stepResult, assertEqual);

4. Create the second step and choose 'Form' ==> 'Open an Existing Record'

5. Setup the test step and make it open the record inserted by step 3 by using the reference selecting icon. Save the test step

6. Create the third step and choose 'Form' ==> 'Set Field Values'

7. Set the rest fields you need as your original plan

8. Complete the rest test steps according your requirement
