Add possibility to link one automated test to multiple test cases by name or property

[ssv-w32]

What would you like the TestRail CLI to be able to do?

I'd like to be able to add multiple test cases in run result like this:

--case-matcher "property"

        <testcase classname="tests.whatever"
                  name="test_create_whatever"
                  time="31.917">
            <properties>
                <property name="test_id" value="C1"/>
                <property name="test_id" value="C2"/>
                <property name="test_id" value="C3"/>
            </properties>
        </testcase>

OR

--case-matcher "name"

        <testcase classname="tests.whatever"
                  name="C1_C2_C3_test_create_whatever" time="31.917" >
        </testcase>

Why is this feature necessary on the TestRail CLI?

I want it because I have automated tests that cover >1 test case from TestRail as part of one test.

Interested in implementing it yourself?

this could be possible solution for properties

It's a Duplicate of https://github.com/gurock/trcli/issues/130 It would be great if someone could consider this. Lot of organizations follow this pattern of having multiple testrail cases in one Automated test in order to make tests more efficient. Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. I'm closing this issue since it's a duplicate, but we will follow-up on https://github.com/gurock/trcli/issues/130.
