Web testing namemapping

Question

For our software there is a warehouse management web service, I'm starting to write tests for it however the namemapping keeps changing.

TC could not find the page, so I re-recorded some steps and noticed it kept changing the namemapping after the page was closed and reopened.

all these should be on the same page. but every time i record it changes the number at the end

Is there anything I can do to force it to stay the same?

I actually just fixed it by using wildcards in the namemapping. I don't know why I didnt think about this before

This video explained it nicely:

Hope this can help someone else with the same problem
