    Hi martinchouinard - 

     

    Not at this time - the templates only work for the property based NameMapping.

Hi martinchouinard - 

 

The templates unfortunately would not apply for the XPath/CSS method of mapping. The templates are actually used to specify specific properties for TestComplete to use when using the property based method of identification.

 

So a template would not apply in this case since you are using the selectors instead of properties. 

 

Let me know if you have further questions

    Hi ebarbera 

    Thx for your reply

     

    I cannot use properties because I want to use cross-platform and this checkbox needs to be checked.

     

    I want to use Templates to auto-detect my web attribute "data-role" and be the first in the list when the objects are created from recording.

     

    Is there any alternatives for my case ? 

    Thx again
