Optionally check the
Required (Tests) check box. Required custom attributes must be set when creating a new test. Required attributes that are not yet set display
with an orange background and a red border on the
New Test dialog.
Note: If the parent test has a certain attribute already set, the value is automatically filled in for the child test. However,
the
Inherit from parent check box is always unchecked by default. If the parent test does not require a certain attribute, the
Inherit from parent check box is disabled.
Note: If an attribute is set to
Inactive, it is not required when creating a new test.
