Hi,
I am trying to run two scripts simultaneously through Test Suite Collection wherein I am fetching Global Variable from 1 script and trying to use it in the other script but I am getting an error message. I have pasted the error message below. Please help!

probably i’m wrong, but i think validity of global variable does not goes beyond test suite - in other words: each test suite have it’s own global variables. my knowledge is based on https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/execution-profile-v54.html
where is stated that you can define separate profiles for each test suite.

Thanks! If I could bother you for a little more while, I would like to know if I could write my global variable into an internal test data and then use it in the other script as test data? and if I could do so I am not too sure on how I could copy it and use it…

You can write data into a file and then read from the file.

you cannot update values of internal test data from scripts, however, you can store them in file as suggested @Mate Mrse
