    Hi pkudrys!

     

    We unfortunately are not able to build our locators with extended properties, but we do have methods to find and interact with objects by searching for the contentText. 

     

    For instance, I recently posted a solution to clicking on an object in a comboBox by searching for the specific objects contentText. If this is applicable to your use case you may view this solution at this link = https://community.smartbear.com/t5/TestComplete-Questions/using-a-loop-to-select-a-certain-value-of-a-combo-box/td-p/234270

     

    Can you tell me what exactly it is you are attempting to do? If the above is not applicable I can help with finding the right solution for you.

     

    I hope this helps!
