The question appears to be answered, but for future reference I’d like to add something:

It is true that the Test Plan Reference path is relative to the location of the editor.exe.

However, a lot of the times your top level test plan is not located in that folder, and you want to reference test plans relative to the top level test plan.

To do this, you can use the variable <TestPlanDir> in the path, which points to the directory of the current test plan. For example:

<TestPlanDir>\..\test_cases\test_my_device.TapPlan
