# Override The Module Return Variable Name

In this feature video, learn how to **overwrite Return Names when utilizing functions within a Module Collection of a Test Case model.**

[Embedded content](https://www.youtube.com/embed/EjXCnvMwKY4?&wmode=opaque&rel=0)

Ensure you have your **Module Collection window** open in **Quality Modeller** ­­– to do so **click Explorer** in the **Dashboard (this is the left panel).**

**To see the Return Type name click the blue edit icon** (next to duplicate and delete icons, as on the panel above) opening the Edit Function window qnd **click the Return tab**. In this example the API call is a ‘Response’. *(For more API detail click the Extracted Values tab nestled under the API Request tab).* To continue hit the **green Save button**.

Then to set-up the next step place a **green Start waypoint on the Quality Modeller canvas**, and from the **Project Explorer palette** highlight the relevant function clicking the **blue Import button** to get it on the canvas.

To now change the Return Name you simply add the parameters for the job in the **Data Selection window > hit** **Save**. *(Note: these are abstract names, according to your preference).* In this example it’s value is ‘Marketing’ and replace the generic text 'Create Return Job' with a new **Return Name** *(again, this name is according to your preference)*. In this example the overridden name is ‘Creating marketing job’ (see final step).

**To see the updated Module Return Variable Name** in the context of the Test Case model **toggle open Parameters** in the **Automation palette**. In this example the parameters are referencing the highlighted waypoint 'Positive Create Job'.
