Thank you. But it is not what i'm looking for. There must be an easier way to use automation id's as identifiers. If I find, I will share.

I asked to support team. Templates could be answer for the problem (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/object-identification/name-mapping/templates.html) But it is useful only if before recording (mapping) the objects . Otherwise it is not applied.

Several way avaliable:

1-Delete existing mapping and remap

2-Modify the name mapping file outside of TestComplete (not recommended)

3-Edit the object (right click the object and click "edit" then move automation id property to "selected" side)
