Are you able to use the table cell, row and column values? What does the Object Spy tool show?

I got this reply from developer when i asked if they could set a static id to make it easier for the test:

 

"That’s correct, the grid id gets generated at run time because Ids needs to be unique.

 

If we put some type of prefix before random Ids, would that help?

e.g. MonConfGridxxxxxx"

 

but I guess that would not solve that i still cannot use "MonConfGrid*" wildcard during xpath 😞
