Hi @UrmilaPatil - I am sure stability could be achieved picking other attributes as well or using UIA or AA modes with match Index and couple other parameters but if you are looking to play around with Xpath - Try finding a Label or related element which can be highlighted without the use of WebPath/Xpath and read its Xpath - Try comparing the Xpath of your original element with this Xpath -
Just in above example : Button/Label Items has enough attributes (For ex Web Value, Web Text, Element Type & Match Index) to match without Xpath attribute - I would read its Xpath using read stage and basis of my observation (which I have compared on NotePad) on how these values changes my original required element - and would amend/add/replace to create a patterned Xpath for my element.
but firstly it should be compared enough to know the patterns/behaviour when changing and then keeping the required element Xpath as Dynamic to pass this newly created Xpath through params.

If you are experiencing changing suffixes on on the "id" attribute of the element and you have BP v6.4 and above, you might want to look into XPath expressions in your "Web Path" or "Web Path/XPath" attributes where something that spies like so:
Would have an XPath expression of:
The XPath expressions give you the speed of the absolute XPaths with the flexibility of dealing with dynamic web pages.
