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 **Account/permission changes** - Your access to multiple organizations may have been revoked or modified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](https://testops.katalon.io)
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:

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

```

### **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.
