From what I remember, you can't use wildcards in XPath e.g. [@id='grid*'] but you should be able to use contains() or substring() - if you search for "javascript xpath contains" on the internet, you'll get plenty of results.

    Hii, is there anything I could use from here? There are 2 different checkboxes I need to fill in, one from parameter and one from monitoring configuration. The first one is doing fine, but when it comes to the monitoring configuration its not working since it changes name 😞
