Field's Id variable

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by SeanLin

I'm using record function to capture a column's Id
input[Id="mainForm:cmTab:j_idt2748:filter"]
But the number "2748" seems to be random each time I login the system.
How can I set the variable in this field?

Capture that values whatever comes inplace of 2748 set into a varible
and pass the variable in place of 2748 in the selector.

Hope this helps

@UshaJyothi20 That's the problem. I don't know where the number "2748" comes from. I've tried setting 「*」 or 「?」to replace the random number in the Id feild but doesn't work. 😢

Then try one thing
take the path use parse text activity and use regex, capture the number which is dynamic like 2748
and set into variable. Now pass the variable into the selector.
now you will get the value whatever number there in the path

Hope this helps

@UshaJyothi20 You inspire me. I read the web page property and analyze it by using parse text action to find the variable. Then set it to the Id field.
Thank you so much.
