Reply to Option to automatically set Automation Key to match Test Key?

Hello @cameron.fairburn ,

Apologies for missing this. If we automatically set the automation keys to the case keys, then on re-indexing, the automation key may be, say AT-TC-12 and the case key may have reindexed to AT-TC-10. Now there can be another case, which has been newly reindexed to the case key - AT-TC-12.

When a user marks the tag of the case as AT-TC-12, we would get to two cases , one with automation key as 12 and one with case key as 12. This would cause a problem and incorrect cases will be updated.

Even if the functionality was given, then after running the utility, the casekey and auto key would become AT-TC-10 and the automation case in the automation repo would still be pointing to AT-TC-12.

So, in both cases, this solution wouldn't work. However, we do understand reindexing creates a problem with automation and will discuss internally if a solution can be provided to address it.
