Editing String List Parameters
An App variant’s String List parameters may be edited by clicking their ‘Edit…’ buttons in the Consumer interface’s Variant screen. A String List parameter may be modified as follows:
- To add a new string element, click ‘Add Row’ and complete the field value.
- To modify an existing string element, edit its values directly.
- To delete an existing string element, click its ‘Delete Row’ button.
- To delete all string elements, click ‘Delete all’.
- To upload String List values from Excel, click the ‘Browse…’ button next to the ‘Upload Excel Spreadsheet’ field. Any existing rows are overwritten with the uploaded data.
- To paste a selection of rows copied from an Excel spreadsheet, click ‘Paste from Excel’. Any existing rows are overwritten with the pasted data.
The String List component displays a maximum of five pasted or uploaded rows. If more than five rows have been uploaded or pasted, click:
- ‘First’ to display the first five rows.
- ‘Next’ to display the next five rows.
- ‘Prev’ to display the previous five rows.
- ‘Last’ to display the last five rows.
Click ‘Continue’ to save any changes and return to the Variant screen. Note that a variant’s String List parameters may not be modified while the variant is running.
Maximum Number of Pasted or Uploaded String Elements
By default, a maximum of 1000 string elements may be pasted or uploaded into a String List parameter from Excel. However, this maximum may be adjusted using a registry setting as follows:
- Navigate to the following registry folder on the LiveCompare server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tricentis\LiveCompare\3.9\Settings
- Create a new DWORD Value entry named MaxPasteRows and set its value to the maximum number of string elements to be pasted or uploaded. Changes to this registry setting take effect when the Tricentis LiveCompare Application Server service is restarted.
