Filling a Bug's Properties from Test Run or Test Case
When generating a new bug report during a test case run, the generated bug's properties are filled in by certain properties from the related test run or test case.
This means that:
• If the bug being created contains a field with the same name and same type as the test run or test case then the field's value from the test case or test run is copied into the bug.
• If the bug contains a field which is configured as a shared field and also has same type as the test run or test case, then this field's value is copied into the matching shared field for the bug. For more information on shared fields, see Shared Field
Additionally:
• Empty field values are not copied.
• If both the test run and test case contain some value for field "X", then the test run value is kept as this is considered to be the stronger value.
You can disable the copying of field values from the test run or test case by clearing the Copy properties from Test Run and Copy properties from Test Case checkboxes in the report-bug dialog, as shown in the following image:
The copied values are displayed on the test runs page where the user can correct the values if necessary. The dialog shows information about what values are copied:
