Elements and Window Instances

Posted on by 19

Hello,

 

Is there a way to work around the Window instance name that an element is under? the issue I am having is there are numerous different pages that have the same Element class that needs to be clicked on.  If I were to program one and simplify the selector down to just the class it will work but when opening a new link it does not. I then create the same selector and simplify down to just the class.  

 

Is there a way around this? Can I set a wilcard ie "Window '* - Microsoft Edge'" in the UI Element view vs "Window 'HP Color ... - Microsoft​ Edge'"

 

Thanks!
