Not aware of any thing called assertion test step.Do you mean that, you have a test step and it contains some assertions. This is all your case is? If not, would you please care to write the case in details or with a screen shot for better understanding of the case?

Hiyaright click and add a test step - last item in the list Assertion TestStepscreen shots attached of test step in question and the cloned one (note cloned the entire test case),I was cloning the 1st test case in the list, after doing so the test runner cannot be used at either the top level or individual level for that test case, individual level for the other test cases is oknote the source is DELETED ELEMENT for the grouped assertion in the cloned copy, clearly losing some referential link there during the clone processas an additional note the 3 parties response assertion test step cannot even be accessedas I mentioned the only solution found so far for this is to revert back to a previous project xml file (I'm not going to start fudging about in the xml file   )

Thanks for reporting this. We will try to reproduce it and (if we're succeed) add it to the backlog for prioritization.Cheers!MannePS: If you have any error logs with the NullPointerException, we'd love to have a look at them.

This issue that was reported 3 years ago is still occurring today on the latest version of ReadyAPI/SoapUI. The more I work with this product the more frustrating it gets when there are several issues that never seem to be addressed.&nbsp;I'm also still getting an "out of memory" error on a test case after following all of the steps on the support page, and after contacting support all they told me was to get more RAM. I'm definitely going to be looking for ReadyAPI alternatives after the subscription is over.
