    If the parent object properties are changing which causes the child object not to be found, then you need to use wildcard in your parent object properties.

     

    For example, you might be able to merge these to object together using wildcard

     

     

    It's vital to get the name mappings correctly defined, otherwise the whole hierarchy structure can break!

The control needs to be visible on your application. You can then either Edit the name mapping, or Update Selectors if it's not able to find the control with the properties given.

    if it's not able to find the control with the properties given，I can Edit the name mapping.But there is another case, if the object's hierarchical path changed, how should I do to update the selector? 

    As is shown in the picture, the Update Selectors  button is disabled
