Because your highlighted objects may be already existing in the project as seen in the message although if you want you can create a new folder
that’s expected behavior. if the spied objects already exist in the selected Object Repository folder, Katalon forces to Merge changes into existing objects, so the other options are disabled
if you want duplicate or replace options:
- save the objects to a new folder
- use different object names during Spy
It’s so easy to overlook how long file names or nested folders can mess with the saving process, especially when there aren’t clear error messages pointing to it. Keeping the directory structure simple is such a practical tip for avoiding those “vanishing” objects. It’s definitely helps narrow down the troubleshooting!
