The new %Folder% variable that can be used in a tests name is great -however I would like to know if it can be extended so that parent folder names used higher in the tree can be used as well ?
Example:
When I setup a new server in HM I use the following schema (sorry for the formatting, hope you get the idea anyway
):Root
|--- Joe the plummers Company
.............|----- JoeServer01
......................|----------- Drives
......................|----------- Processes
......................|----------- Services
........................................|-------------------- JoeServer01 Print Spooler Service
......................|----------- ... and so on
A test placed in the 'Services' folder would have the name 'JoeServer01 Print Spooler Service' when entered manually as we are used to.
If I use the new macro %Folder% in my test it will end up having the name 'Services Print Spooler Service' because the parent folder for this test is called "Services" where I actually needed the name "JoeServer01".
This could perhaps be solved by a macro called e.g. %ParentFolderX% where %ParentFolder1% would be "Services", %ParentFolder2% would be "JoeServer01" and so forth.
I hope that this could be taken into consideration.
Thanks in advance !

PS - I acknowledge that I could create a user defined macro fvar_ServerName with the value "JoeServer01" on the folder 'Services' and use this variable in the test name, but I think this goes against the idea of having templates that one shouldn't have to fiddle to much with when used with a new server.
At least not in version 7
