Andrew,
I thought I can abstract your requirement to a simpler case. You just want to iterate over a elements and elements of a
: 2 dimensional iteration.Then there is a much simpler approach. You do not need to study org.openqa.selenium.WebElement. You just want to use Parameterized Test Object in Katalon Studio.
The Web Page as testbed is like this:

Thank you so much!
Actually i was trying all this on my own - tough. I was about 50% thru - so did not even get a chance to get back on the forum.
I am going to try modified approach you recommended above.
Sorry if i am too slow. I am learning as much as i can.
I know words may not reflect much - but just wanted to tell, however people like yourself, Mate and Russ really provide hope and support that allows to progress for new people that trying to learn .
Maybe not at the desired pace.
Don’t know about other newbies - but if someone would tell me 2 months ago when i started with Katalon RECORDER. I found Defect in it and it was not resolved due to some technical difficulties). So I switch to Katalon Studio (and so glad i did so!!!). Manual mode…
Now - i use Katalon Studio with 95% scripting, 2 modules behind and i constantly updating and making sure scripts i added earlier getting modified to be better and working on this 3rd module.
Still probably about 1000 light years behind all of you
Thank you again & Have a Great Weekend!
Andrew

That, Andrew, is exactly how I work: continuous refinement.
Keep at it. I started using Katalon in February. It’s been a fun ride. B)
