Hi, 
I'm having an issue where i want to enter text in a field. It works great but later in my flow there is on another page a field with the same id but at a different spot on the webpage. The issue i have is that when i do the selection for the second one it overwrites the first one because the field has the same name. 
ex: field named Date in section A of the first page would select: Section A -> textfield[id:Date]
then i go to field named Date in section E of the second page and it would select: Section E-> textField[id:Date]
but it would overwrite the selection in section A to  Section E-> textField[id:Date] so it's now unreachable in the first page.

I can't seem to set the names of my elements to different ones so that they are not overwriten. 

Any Ideas? 

Kate

    UI element overwrite
    Hi, 
    I found a solution myself, it was just to rename the ui elements wich you can do on the right side in the tab to the right named UI Elements. It looks like a pile of paper. 
     
    There you can and should rename all your web page and elements. By giving then different name they won't get overwriten.
