Dynamic Values in XPATH

Question

Hi,I am getting dynamic values in my XPATH (every time when I execute the highlighted number changes).&nbsp;&nbsp;//div[@role='main']/form[@id='form_47_0']/div/div/div/button[@name='SystemDefinedSaveButton'If anybody know how to make these numbers as generic at the name mapping level.Thanks&nbsp;

Hi ! Usually, these id are generated by the web browser at the loading of the webpage. You can't make these id generic without modifying the app/website itself.Instead, you could use the contains method of xpath. &gt; //div[@role='main']/form[contains(@id, 'form_')]/div/div/div/div/button[@name='SystemDefinedSaveButton']If you have multiple forms in your webpage, try to find a unique value inside the form you are looking then build your xpath from this point.Example : //div[contains(@title, 'My Form Title')]//ancestor::form/div/div/div/div/button[@name='SystemDefinedSaveButton']
