    I appear to have solved it.

    (Although as previously mentioned I had tried to rename the mapping properties before). 

     

    I am going to accept this as the solution. 

    Thank you all for trying to help me troubleshoot. 

     

    Solution = Remove conditional mapping on App. Remap App properties to match exactly what the duplicate object was using when mapped during a recorded test. Ensure option to update when mapping was on.

Hi CunderW, 

I have attached a screen of the mapping properties. 

The ones I described above added by me and the ones added automatically when mapped. 

 

Unfortunately TestComplete continues to just duplicate all of the objects rather than add any recorded additions to the exsiting mapping. 

 

The ability to farm out the process of recording objects on mass and then editing the properties would potentially be a huge timesave for us but considerably less so if we would have to start again.
