Additional Results - Value vs Reference Bug

[snowpunter]

Just wanted to get this out there. When attempting to log additional results from a step you can specify if you'd like to log the [In] value or the [Out] value of all variables passed by reference. If you have a variable that is passed by value, you can only log [In] as the value doesn't change. Makes sense.

However, if you have a variable passed by value, and then change it to reference, it does not update to allow an [Out] value until the step is reloaded.

Hi snowpunter,

Could you perhaps attach an example of the issue you're seeing? We would like to have detailed steps on reproducing the issue.

Thank you!

Thank you for reporting this bug. Are you seeing this issue with a Sequence Call step? If so, there is an existing bug report on this issue. The ID is 142282. This problem should be fixed in a future version of TestStand. For now, you can work around this issue by clicking the 'Use Prototype of Sequence' checkbox twice to change and then restore its value. When you do this the parameters in the Additional Results panel update.

Correct, this was with a multiple numeric limit sequence call step. Thanks for getting it taken care of!
