Edit String List parameters
An app variant’s String List parameters may be edited by clicking their Edit buttons in the consumer interface’s Variant screen. The String List editor screen includes a breadcrumb trail leading back to the Apps screen. A String List parameter may be modified as follows:
- To add a new string element, click Add Row and complete the field value.
- To modify an existing string element, edit its values directly.
- To delete an existing string element, click its Delete Row button.
- To delete all string elements, click Delete all.
- To upload String List values from Excel, click the Browse… button next to the Upload Excel Spreadsheet field. Any existing rows are overwritten with the uploaded data.
- To paste a selection of rows copied from an Excel spreadsheet, click Paste from Excel. Any existing rows are overwritten with the pasted data.
The String List component displays a maximum of five pasted or uploaded rows. If more than five rows have been uploaded or pasted, click:
- First to display the first five rows.
- Next to display the next five rows.
- Prev to display the previous five rows.
- Last to display the last five rows.
Click Continue to save any changes and return to the Variant screen. Note that a variant’s String List parameters may not be modified while the variant is running.
Maximum number of pasted or uploaded string elements
By default, a maximum of 1000 string elements may be pasted or uploaded into a String List parameter from Excel. However, this maximum may be adjusted using a registry setting as follows:
- Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tricentis\LiveCompare\2025.2\Settings registry folder on the LiveCompare server.
- Create a new DWORD Value entry named MaxPasteRows and set its value to the maximum number of string elements to be pasted or uploaded. Changes to this registry setting take effect when the Tricentis LiveCompare Application Server service is restarted.
