    Hi sedens!

     

    I think the easiest solution here would be to handle the dynamic data of your parent URL, this way the objects that are being validated can be found even when the URL changes. 

     

    We can apply a wildcard to any dynamic data in TestComplete by using an asterisk (*). 

    For instance, you could remove the encrypted portion of the URL in the Parent mapping and replace it with a wildcard, i.e. = www.example.com/publicLink/*

     

    In my example below I altered the parent URL of an object I am validating to handle a dynamic section. This way my checkpoint will still work on any object under this URL as along as the areas before and after the wildcard still match.

     

    Here is the doc on using Wildcards;

    I hope this helps!
