Select Data Source is disabled under Substitute when try to add a data pool to project in IBM Mobilefirst Platform Test Workbench 8.7. I am having the same issue mentioned by @Rakesh Manusani in his question.

  1. I Have followed the steps mentioned in below link. (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS2HS7_8.7.0/com.ibm.rational.test.lt.moeb.tutorial.doc/topics/ios_lesson7.html)

  2. I was able to select the data pool to use in test

I am stuck in Step 6.b.

I right click on Username field in test script and select Substitute and get an option Select Data Source but it looks disabled

I am using MTW 8.7 and MFP 7.0

This question is a duplicate of: Not able to reference the Test with a Datapool in IBM Mobilefirst Platform Test Workbench 8.7(Free Version)

Steps to follow:

  1. Create the project and record the test
  2. Create the data pool with variable(s) and Value(s) as per req.
  3. If you want to substitute the value of data table in you script
  4. Say if the username is stored under the variable "User" in data pool.
  5. Then at the script property on the right side, where you input username, replace the recorded value with the variable name "User"
  6. Now double click on the text in the username text field ("User"), means all the text value in the Username field in test script should be highlighted, like Ctrl+A.
  7. IF do a right click now on the highlighted text you will find Select Data Source option enabled under Substitute
