    One of the things I use in such cases is:

    If the IMMEDIATE parents of these objects can be easily identified, I map the element with simple characteristics (e.g. contentText in this case) and keep the Extended Find flag unchecked. That way even though there might be several elements on the page with the same text, the search is limited within that parent. See if that works for you.

     

    If not, include a screenshot of the application if possible in your reply.

If you want to use NameMapping you'll have to find a novel way to uniquely identify the given objects. Using conditional name mapping can usually help.

 

For me I can find a way to uniquely NameMap ~99% of the web objects I've had to test. For the rare ones that I can't I just use FindChildByXPath on the closest parent object that is namemapped.

    Please share some details/screenshots showing properties of objects that you are describing. It'll help in a quicker resolution.
