Variables Pane Context Menu
When execution is suspended, right-click a variable or property to access the context menu for the Variables pane.
The Variables pane context menu can contain the following items:
- Insert —You cannot insert a property or variable in an executing context. This item is always dimmed.
- Cut —You cannot remove a property or variable in an executing context. This item is always dimmed.
- Copy —Copies the path to the clipboard for the property with respect to the root of the sequence context, such as StationGlobals.TS.LastUserName .
- Paste —You cannot insert a variable or property from an executing context. This item is always dimmed.
- Delete —You cannot delete a variable or property from an executing context. This item is always dimmed.
- Copy Value —Copies the value of the selected property to the clipboard.
- Rename —You cannot rename a variable or property from an executing context. This item is always dimmed.

Advanced
—Launches a submenu that contains the following options:
- Edit Flags —Launches the Edit Flags dialog box, in which you can modify the flags for the variable or subproperty.
- Edit Attributes —Launches the Attributes dialog box, in which you can create and edit attributes for the variable or subproperty.
- Numeric Format —Launches the Numeric Format dialog box, in which you can specify the format TestStand uses to display the value of a numeric property. This control is available only for numeric properties and numeric array properties.
- Propagate to Subsequence —Specifies whether a local variable is visible at run time in subsequences the sequence calls. The variable continues to propagate as the call chain extends. Typically, you configure local variables to propagate to automatically pass a set of values to all subsequences a sequence calls.
- Allow Propagation from Caller —Specifies which variable takes precedence when a subsequence defines a variable with the same name as a variable a calling sequence propagates. When you disable this option, TestStand preserves the local variable in the subsequence. When you enable this option, TestStand replaces the variable in the subsequence with the variable the caller propagates. When a propagated variable replaces an existing sequence variable, TestStand generates an error if the types of the variables do not match.
