When I try to configure the Columns/Parameters in Database Options, I find that the Logging.StepResult.Limits.High or Low, or Logging.StepResult.Numeric items are missing in the Expression Browser (refer to the following screen-shot). The TestStand version is 4.2.1. Does anyone know how to get it back?
Thanks

The implementation of the Database Options dialog box displays a generic step result and does not display the step results for specific step types as you might like. You must manual enter in the lookup string for the property that you want to reference instead of selecting it from the tree view when the property is not one of the default properties that all step types include.

Thank you Scott,
Is there a way to know which lookup string I can use if it is not in tree view of Expression Browser. For example, how do I know the string should be "Logging.StepResult.Limits.High" (for high limit) instead of "Logging.StepResult.High_Limit"?
Thanks

The items available in Logging.StepResult for a particular step correspond to the items available in that step's Result container. This is viewable at edit time by looking at the Property Browser panel on the Step Settings for the step.
Here's a KnowledgeBase article that mentions this. It mentions custom step types, but this same principle applies to built-in TestStand steps: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D30EC9BBA0D740C286256C760049DABD
