Is it even possible to delay or call explicitly a teardown method of a child test case in Katalon Studio?

I am testing this site for concierge medical professionals, written in Zoho.

The flow, of the section in question, is as follows:

once practice is created, user is to:

1. create practice contract
2. create rate card for that contract
3. create any discounts to apply to that rate card
4. create any retainer schedules

Right now, I have the practice contract and rate card test suites completed, and parameterized/sanity test cases for the discount and retainer schedule test suites. Neither is deterministic right now, as both of those require one "free" rate card, and right now, there's no control for that in the test cases like there is in the rate card test cases.

The rate card test case has, as its initial/teardown steps, logic to create dummy contract if there isn't a "free" contract to assign the rate card to, and we delete the dummy contract if one had to be created:

// creating dummy contracts iff there is less than 1 unassigned contract. Else if there are more, we fail the test right away, because that would require us choose one, which is not, by definition a sanity test case concern.
PracticePage initPage = new PracticePage(practiceProfile.getPracticeURL());

if (!hasUnassignedContract()) {
    createDummyContract()
    
    WebUI.verifyEqual(initPage.getNumberOfContracts(), initPage.getNumberOfRateCards() + 1)
}

@TearDown
void close() {
    if (PracticePage.NewContractsCreated > 0) {
        PracticePage page = new PracticePage(((PracticeProfile)practiceProfile).getPracticeURL());
        page.go(); 
        page.deleteFirstContract();
    }
}

Discount and retainer schedule test cases, since they require a rate card to work off of, should:

1. hit up the rate card child test case if the number of discounts/retainer schedules is equal to the number of rate cards, and then
2. delete any dummy contract that had to be created afterwards (as we are either completing the practice setup, or adding new info just to test that part of the app)

but wait a minute, the contract deletion logic happens in the child test case, which means that the contract is going to be deleted once child test case is done!

How can we either:

• delay that teardown until after the drive test case is done, or
• call that teardown method from the drive test case on done

?

I don't like having to do this, as it adds another if-condition, but here goes:

• move the teardown logic to PracticePage, as a static method :

public static void DeleteFirstContract(String practiceURL) { 
   if (this.NewContractsCreated > 0) { 
       PracticePage page = new PracticePage(practiceURL);
       page.go();
       page.deleteFirstContract();
   }
}

• give that test case another flag called shouldHandleTeardown , default value = true, and
• teardown on that test case becomes:

if (shouldHandleTeardown) PracticePage.DeleteFirstContract(practiceProfile.getPracticeURL())

or something similar, and finally

• call that static teardown method from the drive test cases and the other positive test cases in the rate card suite

Unless someone contradicts me on here, no it doesn't seem possible to call, let alone delay the execution of, a method of a child test case from a drive test case.
