Thanks. That does work. I noticed TC always has the "allow this option to be found at any level" checkbox enabled by default and the resulting mappings are not attached to it's parent but some other top level parent.
(Using extended find causes us problems and messes up our name mapping so I've stopped using it except as an absolute last resort where no static mappings cannot be used.)
Also by default TC extremelly sparse ID's when automatic mapping is used which along with extended find is a recipe for mis-recogition. I've started to use templates with an increased numbers of properties which has massively improved the reliabilty of object recognition and speed of testing.
