Existing script design in \*\*\* Test Case \*\*\*
I need add changes to read data from excel file and then run execution for each row.
DataDriver design to run scripts from \*\*\* Keywords \*\*\*.
I try ad next: call from Test2.robot to Test1.log to read excel data -\> collect all 10 arguments in Test1.log into list variables add pass it to existing file (Test2.robot)… execution is failed.
Error: Setting ‘Test Template’ is not allowed in resource file.
Is it possible to implement in this way or i need to modify existing script?
Is it possible to do next: read excel in Tes1.robot and run execution to Test2.robot after each line using [Tag] name on Tes2.robot?
I try to read loop, but Collection library from Robot Framework is not found. Do i need to install it separately?

Why are you not just call all steps you want to call in that keyword?
```python
Run Data Driven Steps
[Arguments] ${Arg1} ${Arg2} ${Arg3} ${Arg4} ${Arg5} ${Arg6} ${Arg7} ${Arg8} ${Arg9} ${Arg10}
FOR ${arg} IN ${Arg1} ${Arg2} ${Arg3} ${Arg4} ${Arg5} ${Arg6} ${Arg7} ${Arg8} ${Arg9} ${Arg10}
#Do what ever you want to do with ${arg}
END
```
