How do I insert Azure DevOps parameters inline

Azure Test Plans does not provide a setting that permanently replaces @ParameterName with its value in the authored test steps; substitution occurs when the parameterized test is run.

In the test-case editor, the supported design is:

1. Enter a named placeholder in an Action or Expected Result, for example: Add @Quantity items to the cart
2. Enter one or more values in the Parameter values table below the steps.
3. Run the test from the test suite. The Test Runner displays the values for the current parameter row.
4. Move to the next iteration to run the same steps with the next row of values. ^1^

The test-case definition therefore continues to show @Quantity; there is no documented display option to render a selected row’s value inline while editing it.

Alternatives

• Keep parameterization: Use descriptive parameter names and let the Test Runner supply each iteration’s value. This retains one test case for multiple data combinations.
• Show literal values in the authored steps: Replace the placeholder manually with a fixed value, but that step will no longer use the parameter table for that value.
• Require individually readable cases: Create separate test cases with literal values. This increases maintenance but makes each test case self-contained.
• Request inline preview support: Submit a feature request through the Azure DevOps Developer Community if displaying the selected iteration’s values directly in authored steps is required.
