Add retries to RestTestRequestStep

Hi, I've been struggling with this problem for weeks now. Need help, desperately.

I have a RestTestRequestWithRetryStep which extends RestTestRequestStep, and I can add it to a test case, and it works beautifully.

Now what I want to do is create an action, where I can right-click on a regular RestTestRequestStep and "add retries" to it. I thought that I could follow this process:

1. Take the config from the original RestTestRequestStep

2. Create an instance of RestTestRequestWithRetryStep using that config

3. Add the RestTestRequestWithRetryStep to my test

4. Remove the original RestTestRequestStep

But that doesn't work, the resulting step appears to be an identical copy of the original. Furthermore, I can't figure out a way to link the right desktop panel to my new step.

Can someone help me out please?

Thanks!
