Since AWA 12.X, the variable inheritance does not work anymore in the PromptSet for "Text field" objects.
Caption : Nodename
Data reference : VARA.SQL.TEST (retrieve a value with a SQL request)
Variable name : &VARTEST#
Caption : Specific MU
Data reference : VARA.PRPT.TEST
Variable &VARTEST# is not interpreted by caption Specific result from VARA.PRPT.TEST (e.g : "TOTO") and retrieve this result.
Actual result :
VARA.MU.&VARTEST#
Expected result :
VARA.MU.TOTO
This same objects were working fine with AWA 11.X
Cause
As designed
Environment
Release : 12.3
Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE
Resolution
Since AWA 12.X, Dynamic input needs to be used for variable inheritance.
In this case, a "Combobox" object works perfectly to replace this "Text field" object.
