Based on the Katalon documentation, the “Katalon Organization” field in the Command Builder is designed to appear only when you belong to more than one Organization subscribing to KRE licenses. According to the official documentation:

Katalon Organization: If you belong to more than one Organization subscribing to KRE licenses, you can choose which Organization validates your license usage.

Why the field is now empty:

The empty dropdown field you’re seeing suggests one of these scenarios:

  1. Your organization membership has changed - You may have been removed from one of your organizations, leaving you with only a single organization
  2. License subscription status changed - One of your organizations may no longer have an active KRE license subscription
  3. Account/permission changes - Your access to multiple organizations may have been revoked or modified
  4. Katalon Studio cache issue - The application may not have refreshed your organization list properly

Root Cause

Status: Configuration/Account Issue (not a bug in Katalon Studio itself)

The field is functioning as designed—it only displays when you have multiple organizations with KRE licenses. The fact that it’s now empty indicates a change in your organization memberships or license subscriptions.


Solutions

Solution 1: Verify Your Organization Memberships

  1. Log in to Katalon TestOps
  2. Check your Account Settings or Organization section to confirm:
    • How many organizations you currently belong to
    • Which organizations have active KRE licenses
  3. If you’ve been removed from an organization, this would explain why the field is now empty

Solution 2: Refresh Katalon Studio Cache

  1. Close Katalon Studio completely
  2. Navigate to your Katalon Studio workspace folder and delete the .metadata folder (this clears the cache)
  3. Reopen Katalon Studio and try Command Builder again
  4. This forces Katalon Studio to refresh your organization list from the server

Solution 3: Manually Specify Organization ID in Command

If you know your organization ID, you can manually add it to your KRE command using the -orgID parameter:

katalon -noSplash -runMode=console -projectPath="<path>" -testSuitePath="<path>" -browserType="Chrome" -apiKey="<your_api_key>" -orgID=<your_org_id>

Reference: Command-line syntax in Katalon Runtime Engine - License arguments

Solution 4: Contact Support for Account Investigation

If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, this may require investigation into your account’s organization memberships and license status.
