Call a Subsequence From Substeps In Custom Step Type

[semaj2020]

Hi There,

I have a sequence file that calls a number of other sub-sequences which I want to turn into a custom step type, however, I don't seem to be able to set a post step of type "sub-sequence" in the configure sub-steps dialog. See the screenshot below. I have already set to display the hidden sequence file adapter in configure\Adapters from the runtime menu. I also don't want to use the Default module option since this will not update throughout my test sequences if something changes in the future.

What am I missing? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Can Anybody help on this?

This functionality is a commonly requested feature on the idea exchange but is not yet implemented:

There are some workarounds listed in the comments of that post.

Hope this helps!

Hello,

if you combine the SequenceCall step with one of yours step you be able to call at least one sequence. You will find the SequenceCall Step in the NI_types. Maybe you could also only copy the SequenceCall Step and modify it.

You could specifie the sequence you liked to call under the 'General' Tab with the Button Default Module. Under Disable Proberties you also have to disable that somebody could change the module for this step.

I hope this works for you.
