Create the ability to import parameters

Rather than having to copy and paste parameters in from a datasheet, it would be good if we could map the parameters for multiple instances of a test case to a datasheet and import them
eg Select 10 instances of a test case, click an 'bulk update parameter' button or similar, which can then map to an excel datasheet

    This is a much needed improvement for the parameter feature! It would make the whole experience of using parameters much more efficient.

    To be able to generate a testset of a test case that has parameters and being able to import a table of parameters to use as the iterations.

    Eg. Test case
    Step 1: Open browser
    Step 2: login with UN: {{user_name}} and PW: {{password}}
    Step 3: Press/click {{confirmation_method}}

    Parameter Table:
    Iteration | user_name | password | confirmation_method
    1 | bob | 1234 | login
    2 | bob | ApPlE | keyboard [Enter]
    3 | bob | 'blank' | cancel

    What this would do is allow quicker entry of parameters and generation of variable test cases, and an easier visualization of what parameters are being tested.

    This is a feature in Azure DevOps' Test Management Suite {poke, poke}

    I used up my last available votes for this :) !!!

    Yes PractiTest should let us read our parameter values from a file (xls). We for example can run the same test case with 50 iterations based on the parameters. So typing the values in manaully seems antiquated for a tool. This would be a high priority enhancement request in my book. Thank you!
