Applies to TestComplete 15.73, last modified on March 04, 2025

TestComplete includes an integrated data generator that allows you to quickly populate table variables with random values in various formats. When populating a table column, the data generator replaces the existing values in that column. To prevent accidental data loss, when you call the data generator for an already populated or partially populated column, TestComplete displays a message box asking for your confirmation to overwrite the existing values.

If you are sure you want to replace the existing values, click Yes to proceed and open the data generator. To keep the existing values and cancel data generation, click No.

Note that you can select the Don’t ask again option to make TestComplete remember your choice and never show this message again. You can also control whether this message is displayed by using the Confirm overwriting values in table variables option in the Show Again Flags dialog.
