This is necessary when configuring a nested feature or entering a feature name for different nodes or the same node within a scenario. Otherwise, you will see the following error message as displayed in the screenshot:
   
9. Upon successful node configuration, you can see all the UI elements within the feature. By default, one feature will be configured.

3. Generating Test Cases

To generate a test case, perform the following: 

1. In the Main canvas, click Generate Test case.
2. Click OK.
   
3. The generated test cases are stored in the Test Cases folder. This folder includes a spreadsheet which contains GWT steps in XLSX or XLS format and Feature File in TXT format.
   
   Note that .xls file supports storage up to 7000  rows (GWT lines) of data. You can modify and save the lines, download the file without any issues.
