+## Description
+
+This test ensures the corresponding downstream target is deleted when its trigger is deleted, for a generate foreach cloneList type of policy.
+
+## Expected Behavior
+
+If the downstream resources `mysecret-1` is remained in the namespace `cpol-clone-list-sync-delete-source-trigger-ns-1`, the test fails. If not, the test passes.
+
+## Reference Issue(s)

+## Description
+
+This is a basic creation test for a "generate foreach clone" policy with preconditions and context variables. It checks that the basic functionality works whereby installation of the policy causes correct evaluation of the match and preconditions blocks.
+
+## Expected Behavior
+
+If only the `foreach-ns-1` Namespace receives a cloned Secret, the test passes. If either it does not or `foreach-ns-2` receives a cloned Secret, the test fails.
