I am able to resolve the issue with the Wildcards, thank you so much.

if we can above screenshot, whenever we update the failed object, it's creating new Name mapping folder right in the URL section we observed that it is changing so handled it with the Wildcard which resolve the issue.

Many thanks

If the UI object doesn't have a unique property ID, TestComplete will refer to another property, and will not know if that property value will change. Hence, when doing record and playback, it will create duplicates. The only way to stop this, is to use appropriate property values that can "uniquely" identify the UI object. Which TestComplete will use this criteria to search and interact with the UI object.

I found that building the mapped objects tree from knowing what UI objects I'll be interacting with, is much better than relying on the record and playback, if you don't have unique IDs.
