Folder-specific user variables

Post by Wabiloo »

It would be fantastic to be able to define user variables valid at the level of a folder. The scope of these variables would be the folder and all its subfolders, unless the same variable is defined at a sub-folder level with a different value.
These variables could be used to define test and action parameters, or names of the reports, etc.

Currently the %FCommentLineXX% macro variables can be used (to some extent) for that, but as I will configure systems and put them in the hands of users, it's not as user friendly as having our own variable names (eg. %FHostName%

Does this make sense?

Your not the first to ask for expanded folder attributes:

Of course my idea was to provide links to asset or disaster recovery data, but the idea of subfolder inheritance opens up other possibilities.

Yes, we plan to implement such option. Probably in version 8
