IDLegacy IDFixed IssueIssue Details
304392-The translator removes local variables during an incremental update if you modify the actionID attribute of an <ActionReference> child element of a <TestGroup> element of the TestGroupParallel typeThe TD file contains an <Action> element with an ID attribute value of "action1." and also contains an <ActionReference> child element of a <TestGroup> element of the TestGroupParallel type with an actionID attribute value of "action1." When you translate the TD file to a sequence file, change the value of the ID attribute of the <Action> element to "action2," change the value of the actionID attribute of the <ActionReference> element to "action2," and then perform an incremental update, the translator incorrectly removes the local variables the translator had previously created and assigned to parameters of the step created within the TestGroupParallel sequence.
