How to return values from a testcase without using calltestcase feature

HI @Russ_Thomas,

@Marek_Melocik has already answered my problem in another post…

How to update global variable during run time?

There are two options for you. Set global variable in TC1 and use it in TC2 (within test suite run) - variable won’t be persisted after execution Store your variable externally (file, database, …) and read it - variable is persisted after execution

He said that - variable won’t be persisted outside the test suite. Thanks.

Update:
Though the variable updates wont persist outside the test suite. I think Katalon still expects me to create the variable place holder at design time. example in profile; but the need of the variable is only in the test case and its child, it feels odd to me to create a design time global variable in profile for that.
