Export Shareable Test Cases to Other Project
The document describes how to export shareable test cases from one project to other project within the same Jira instance. To read about independent test case export, refer to Export Test Cases to Other Project.
Note
If the shared test case is exported to other project, it is exported as a shared test case with a new test case key.
If only an independent normal test case is exported to other projects, the shared test case of the source project will be reused with the new test case key of the independent normal test case.
Note
Prerequiistes:
The QMetry for Jira feature (Project Settings > QMetry Project Settings) should be enabled for both the source and target projects.
If the Permissions feature is enabled for the target project, users must have the Export permission (Project Settings > QMetry Permissions) assigned to them.

Follow these steps while exporting test cases containing shared parameterized steps to other project. The parameters and their values are project-specific and will not be directly created or replaced in the destination project.
Export the shareable test cases to another project, replace the parameters as per the destination project, and then link them to the main test cases.

The shareable test cases get copied to the target project with the values as per the options selected on the Export screen.
Independent normal test case with shareable test cases in the target project
If only independent normal test case is exported to other project, the shared test case of source project will be reused with the new test case key of the independent normal test case.
The independent normal test case will have a new test case key, but the shareable test case will be reused and its key will remain the same as that of the source project.
