Associate test information with the control rather than the test sheet?
Are there any plans to associate test steps and attributes with the control rather than a particular test sheet? I spend a great deal of time recreating test steps and attributes when new test forms are created but are not "rolled forward" from a previous audit program. Each year we test a different set of controls so rolling forward previous audit programs doesn't give us the population of controls we need to test this year. I have to then manually create new test forms with all the test steps and attributes which is a huge waste of time and tedious.
Can't we associate the test steps and attributes with the control itself so when we create a new test sheet, the test steps and attributes come with the control?

Agree with Rebecca. This feature would be a great help.
0Hi Rebecca and Anit,
Thank you both for your feedback here. So far I can say that currently, no, this is not yet possible, at least directly, and our Product Team has not yet prioritized this feature enhancement. That being said, our database experts recommended working with your CSM to do an import of the new test forms, and test steps and attributes.
0this feature would be great. We have spent 3 years reconciling all of our testing attributes with our external auditors. I don't want my staff to be able to change the test steps without it going through a review process first. We view the testing attributes as part of the control itself and not something that should be changed with each test form.
