I am asking this because at every release Katalon team is taking away at least one good feature from the free version. Now with the release of 7.3 version, 2 good features are taken away- Run from here ability Cannot disable a step from keyword mode Katalon claims that they will always keep a fre…

More importantly they’ve deprecated the “Enable/Disable logging executed steps” and without this the logs are meaningless! Hope we all should move away to something else soon.

agree, Katalon team lists what improvements/bug fixes have taken place in new releases but they don’t mention what they have taken away from free versions.It’s all getting done silently. They are not transparent I would say.

Debug seems to have gone to Enterprise only in my latest update - is that a mistake too?

@ThanhTo @duyluong [image] Andrew_Halliday: is that a mistake too?

If y…

Ok thanks @ThanhTo I’m just a bit worried I’ll do my next upgrade and find the Run button is gone too. :disappointed:

@Andrew_Halliday I feel your pain. This behavior is outrageous! They will remove everything sooner or later silently so they will one day force you to buy something that was completely free and you relied your tests on. In my case, I recommended this tool to customer because they have junior tester…

@Luka_Mlikota is there an alternative though? I’ve invested so much of my time in this. I appreciate that businesses need to make money, but I don’t think this is the right way to do it. I don’t use it enough to warrant a big expense, but wouldn’t mind paying something for the core features - lots …
