It would be nice if there was a setup action list that gets run every time. It would even run if you were "Run Selected Step". The reason I would like this is I have a property set that I populate early. Sometimes I get an error in the build process and I want to fix it and then continue from that point. The property set is not populated if I don't start over to pickup this early configuration. Another solution would be to persist the property set.<br>

Hi Michael,  
  
Interesting suggestion, thanks. So, it’d be a bit like unit testing how you have a Setup and Teardown that gets called before and after each run.  
  
cheers,  
tate.
