Test Case Status Not Retained After Copy

When a Test Case tracker is created using template inheritance, the option

“Make a copy of the items and link the target item with the copies” is not consistently available, and copied test cases do not retain their original status.

This behavior is observed while copying test cases from a base Test Case tracker to a template‑inherited Test Case tracker

 

The copy option “Make a copy of the items and link the target item with the copies” is not displayed.

Test cases copied via drag‑and‑drop are created with status = Draft, even if the original test case is in another status (e.g., Approved).

​@SY_10545985 this configuration is by design to protect the integrity of test cases. This prevents someone from creating a test case and bypassing the approval process. If you would like to modify this behavior, you can change the State Transition workflow settings in the tracker config.
