if you have a chance to open a test case’s scripts, you will see that Katalon Studio looking for Test Object via a String (Object Repository/Page/Object), so you could create user defined function (or custom keywork to be correct) with this String as a param. > **[How to create a custom keyword](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/tutorials/create_custom_keyword.html)** > > In addition to the built-in keywords, Katalon Studio users can define custom keyword to extend the capability and reuse them across projects ---
