Custom Step Type SubSteps Bug ?

[Crusader]

Hi,

I'm having what I think is a bug. I'm doing a custom step type in teststand 4.2 and I can't put the pre-step substep before the post-step. I also know that TestStand are not executing them correctly since my pre-step create an object and the two post-step uses this object to set informations.

Please look at the picture below

Hi Crusader,

Though the Pre-Step is being listed after the Post-Step substeps in your image, it will execute before them because of its very nature as a Pre-Step.  As per the TestStand Reference Manual, the Pre-Step substep will execute immediately before the module, and the Post-Step substep will execute immediately after the module.  

The Move Up and Move Down buttons on the dialog are meant to function only when you have multiple substeps of the same type, in which case order of operation becomes important.  For example, if you were to highlight one of your Post-Step substeps, these buttons would make themselves available.
