Is it possible to record a button in an application?

I open a file.
Export it to another format.
My application asks me to confirm that I want to save.
I click [Yes].
Next file, the button seems to be registered once when I first added it.
The UI Element is called "Local Computer > Window 'File 1' > Button 'Save'"
So when I open File 2, Flow crashes telling me that it can't find that particular button.

How can I make this generic, so that the "Do you want to save" button is obtained from the dialog box regardless of what I have opened?

    Hi @L-Jaxx 

     

    select the top level window selector and check if there is any attribute which has the name of file / attribute which changes , to confirm that, you have to take selector of file2 and see the difference between them 🙂
