A web element may occasionally include additional attributes, some of which are significant and can be used to identify the web element.

Samples #
The example below demonstrates how to take advantage of this functionality.
Sample 1: Azure DevOps new work item page
We want to locate the ‘Discussion’ input area.
- It is simple to generate the locator like the one below using Clicknium Recorder:
In this scenario, the “ancestorId” of the produced locator is dynamic; if you create a work item again, the “ancestorId” will be change. Given that Clicknium returns the values for all of the web element’s attributes, choosing “aria-label” and excluding “ancestorId” will make the locator more dependable for this sample.
In order to be flexible, you should alter the “title” to “New Bug *: – Boards”. Please refer to wildcard locator and Recapture and Compare.
