Feature Request: Update Test Run Title Date on Re-run Creation

App Feedback
1

Background

When creating a Re-run from an existing Test Run, the system currently copies the original Test Run title and prepends the “(Re-run)” prefix. As a result, the date embedded in the title remains unchanged, even though the Re-run is created on a different day.

Current Behavior

Original Test Run:

TEST-Demo Test Plan 11/24/2025

Generated Re-run:

(Re-run) TEST-Demo Test Plan 11/24/2025

Expected Behavior

When a Re-run is created:

  • Keep the “(Re-run)” prefix.

  • Preserve the rest of the title.

  • Update the date at the end of the title to the current date.

Example:

(Re-run) TEST-Demo Test Plan 21/07/2026

Benefit

Updating the date automatically makes it easier to distinguish between the original Test Run and subsequent Re-runs. It improves traceability, avoids confusion caused by outdated dates, and ensures that the title accurately reflects when the Re-run was created.

Thanks for your feedback!

True, a re-run just adds a prefix to the test run title and does not change the title in any other way.
That is because a test run title can be anything, it does not need to end in a date or have a date in it at all.

The title in your example is the default when creating a test run from a test plan. However, it’s only the default in English language, with any other UI language the title will have a differently formatted date in it.
In other words, if we were to just replace a string that looks like a date with the current date, that would be quite some magic with no guarantee that this would be actually intended by the user.

So this feature would most definitely need some user action to be invoked, something like a “add current date” button or similar.
After all, the “Re-run” button already opens a dialog where you can change the title for the created test run.

Anyway, leaving this as a feature request for others to give their ideas and opinions. Thanks!
