Hello community, is is possible to call a keyword with arguments and specify the input arguments.

Example:

\*\*\* Test Cases \*\*\*  
Special Test 1  
[Template] My Awesome Keyword  
special\_argument=expert use\_network=yes

In my case I did not get it to work 😕

Your example uses “named arguments”. I dont know if thats supposed to work but you can pass positional arguments. For example, copy paste from one of my suites looks like this:

```robotframework
***Test Cases***
Full Purchase Flow on DEV
  [Tags] store dev noci
  [Template] Full Purchase Test Template
  ${STORE_BASEURL} testi-kauppa tietokoneet kauppa __dev__ storedState 25,5 ${False}

```

and Full Purchase Test Template looks like this:

```robotframework
Full Purchase Test Template
  [Arguments] ${baseurl} ${url_fragment} ${category} ${storage_key} ${vat}=25.5 ${skip_payment}=True
  No Operation # just to highlight..

```
