Status Not under consideration

Be able to see the "Expected" result also in the Test Suite generated excel report file

Currently, when we run the Test Suite, we can see in the report both the Expected value and the output value. 
However, if we chose to generate an Excel file with the output, we get in that Excel file the input value and the output value, but not the expected value.
For a Test Suite it make sense to have the expected value next to the output (even if it is also good to have the input parameters too). 
I think a checkbox allowing the user to chose whether or not to save the expected value as part of the export would be the best.

    Hello,

    Adding expected results in the output file could probably be achieved through custom Excel processing.

    It's unlikely that the ODM team would give a high priority to such an enhancement, unless there are similar requests from other users. There are other Ideas that are popular and for which there is no workaround outside the product.

    It's better for now to not set wrong expectations on this idea, thus I'm marking it as not under consideration.

    Thank you for your understanding
