Configuring ATF Input Variables as drop down choices not working

[chaddie1]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying make a custom Step configuration to make it easier for testers to use ATF.

The issue I am having is that I am trying to create an input variable which I want to be a drop list of valid values when used in a test. 

As an example say I have an Urgency input variable on my Custom Step to be used by my script and I want there to be a drop down containing "High", "Medium" and Low when the test step is used for the QAs to select.

I thought I was able to configure it like this but when I use the Custom Step containing this input variables I do not see a drop down.

For a brief second when the step is used I see the default value flash and then it enters the underlying value.

Just wondering if there's anyway to get this to work or due to the nature of the framework it is not supported?

Cheers,

What i s the use case, or problem you try to solve?

The custom steps are meant for server interaction, client side steps are rather complex and not meant to develop yourself.

Hi Arnoud,

We have people who are non-technical who will ultimately get involved in ATF test creation. I was trying to provide a custom step whereby the inputs reflect the Risk Assessment Questions and related drop downs of valid values.

Cheers,
