Sounds like a mapping issue again.... that the identifying factors you're using for the one control matches the other control. If they are two different controls, then they should be mapped differently. There is some identifying factor that is missing that keeps them distinct. Spend the time examining the two controls in the object browser and add the appropriate distinguishing properties to your mapping to make them distinct in your code.

Hi Robert,
Thank you.
"add the appropriate distinguishing properties to your mapping to make them distinct"
I some more explanation about "Ambiguous recognition of the tested object", I had this issue in the past and solved it but to be honest i fall into that again and try to add a unique property value but it doesn't work. what if there's no unique property to identify the object in 100%? should i ask our developers to create one? not sure what to do in this case.
Thx

Identifying an object may not be a single unique property... but a combination. There may be more than one property where the combination of them creates a unique identification. This is what I was implying, that you would add an additional property to your existing list of properties that would distinguish the two objects.
If, however, you cannot find such a thing, then yes, go to your developers and see if there's something that they can do to help you more clearly identify the objects.

I must say that when i have this kind of a case i'm going to the Edit Name Mapping Item dialog for the specific item and try to see what property could be unique to this object and then i select to move it to the Selected side. is that what i should do? does tc search for the properties showed in the Selected side? does it look for the object matching those properties.
I'm asking this question because there were few times that i tried to move properties to the Selected side and to see if tc change behavior and it didn't, then i said lets pass all the properties to the selected side and see if that will solve the problem... it didn't so, i was thinking to myself if so many properties combination won't help tc recognize this object in 100% than what will.
Don't know if i'm doing the right think to uniquely recognize the object by a unique property.
If that's the right way i'll be happy to hear but if that's not the way i would be happy to hear how to do that
Thanks
