Deleting a parameter removes the reusable value from the Parameters page. If the parameter is used, Hawzu asks how existing references should be handled before deletion.
Open the parameter details view and review the Usages section. It shows linked:
For heavily used parameters, review the list carefully so you understand the impact across affected content.
If a parameter has no usages, Hawzu shows a simple confirmation. Confirming deletion removes the parameter for users who had access to it.
No test cases, requirements, or shared steps are changed because nothing is linked to the parameter.
If a parameter is used, Hawzu opens a deletion window with usage counts and safe handling options. When a parameter is used in many places, Hawzu shows a high-usage warning.
Choose one deletion action before confirming.
Use Replace with another parameter when you want existing references to continue using a reusable value.
This is the safest option for:
The linked test cases, requirements, and shared steps are updated to use the replacement parameter.
Use Replace with value when you want to keep fixed text in the linked content.
Hawzu replaces the parameter reference with the value you enter. After that, the content no longer updates when a parameter changes.
This is useful when the value is no longer expected to change.
Use Remove from usages when the parameter reference should be removed from linked content.
This can leave gaps in test cases, requirements, or shared steps if the surrounding text depended on the parameter. Review affected items after using this option.
Deleting a parameter does not delete the test cases, requirements, or shared steps that used it. It only changes or removes the parameter references according to the option you choose.
Deletion cannot be undone from the Parameters page, so review the preview before confirming.
Deleting a workspace parameter can affect multiple projects. Deleting a project parameter affects only the selected project.
When replacing a workspace parameter, replacement choices are limited to workspace parameters. Project-level replacement can use parameters available in that project.
