.. _auto_physicaltest_add_responses:

*ADD RESPONSES TO PHYSICALTESTS*
================================

Attaches one or more responses (curves, scalars, views, key-values, sets, or datasets) to an existing physical test record in d3VIEW. Use this worker when you need to populate or refresh the response payload of a physical test entry from within a workflow.

Inputs

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type
     - Default
     - Required
     - Description
   * - Physicaltest
     - input_pt_id
     - remote_lookup
     - —
     - ✓
     - ID of the target physical test record (remote lookup against the physicaltests datatype); must reference an existing physical test — no default, required.
   * - Responses
     - responses
     - dataset
     - —
     - 
     - Dataset carrying the responses to attach to the physical test; each row should represent a response entry (curve, scalar, view, key-value, set, or dataset) formatted per the d3VIEW dataset-input schema.
   * - Replace Existing Responses
     - replace_existing_responses
     - select
     - yes
     - 
     - Controls whether pre-existing responses on the physical test are overwritten ('yes', default) or preserved and appended to ('no').

     - integer
     - Integer primary key of the physical test record that was updated, typed as physicaltests for downstream lookup chaining.
   * - Responses
     - responses
     - dataset
     - Dataset of all responses now associated with the physical test after the operation, spanning types: curve, scalar, view, keyvalue, set, and dataset.
