Execution Variables for Test Plans in ETM

The feature of setting default values of Execution Variables is available in Test Cases and Test Suites, but not in Test Plans. Currently, there is no straight-forward way to run a Test Plan with a set of default Execution Variable values as an entry condition. Our team would like to have an Execution Variables section in Test Plans and the ability to set Execution Variable default values before running Test Case Execution Records from Test Plans.

    Have you looked at the possibility to use project-level execution variables to be able to set default values at a higher level than test suites or test cases?
