RobotFramework adding tests through argument file

Question

I am learning robot and creating a testframework. I want to give people an easy way to add more tests.

Is it possible to dynamically create tests based on arguments passed in argument file?

I have all my tests in a .rst file and right now users have to populate the test table , but I want to make it simpler so other people actually use the framework.

No, it is not possible to dynamically create tests via an argument file.

It is, however, possible to write a script that reads a data file and generates a suite of tests before running pybot.

Good idea, thanks. Is there something you would recommend to keep the robot framework formatting intact while creating the file (Robot is picky about the spacing in the table). I can manually count spaces and do this obviously but am wondering if there is a neater solution.
