From what I can tell, mapping all of the parent objects is only really neccessary in the Mapped Objects section and not so much in the alias section. Therefore, it would be nice if only the page obje...
Thank you for the information and all your help. I understand the importance of mapping the whole tree. This request would not undermine that, it would just cut down on the extent of the tree that is aliased.
If a middle man object, such as the panel that a button is in, is desired in the alias space, the user could simply drag the object down from the mapped objects list to include it in the alias space. I cannot see this being something that would be need too frequently. Whereas with the present set up, the extensive way TC populates the alias section results in a lot of cleaning post recording.
Although I know that recording cannot alone be leaned upon for test creation, I believe there are ways it could be more useful in this regard. It would be great if recording could be more reliably used to flesh out a name map and better establish foundational steps from which to build a test; it would be nice if it resulted in a foundation that did not need as much post clean up and polish.
