Hello,

I have a question about changing the component settings in the runner. How is it possible to change the component settings for all sessions in the Runner? When I start my runner and connect with my client I can receive the component settings. When I then use the EditorX to update the component settings it works and the settings of my component settings change. However, when I try to do this myself by updating the component settings with the Runner directly it initially seems to work as it updates the settings when I call them. However when I then open a new session and run a testplan the old settings are being used. Am I missing a step here to tell the Runner to update its ComponentSettings?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Some additional information that might help understand my problem:

I took a look at the logs and it seems that the EditorX saves the results back in the files:

I couldn’t figure out though which request triggers this as before this there is only the request for setComponentSettingListItem and some getComponentSettingsRequests.

If I make the exact same requests with my own sessionClient (where all the requests also succeed), the saving does not happen…
