Enhancement Request - Custom Attributes for Html Spied Application Modeller Elements

RobertReich
Level 2
I would would like the ability to create custom attributes for the Html Elements that I spy.  With modern web-development technologies (html-5, angular, react, etc.) many sites use html-attributes that are not able to be captured by the modeller for elements but would, ultimately, make the specific html-element much easier to spy. e.g. data-* attributes, placeholder text attributes on INPUT tags, etc.

You should be able to just use xpath in chrome/ff/edge(plugin works for it?).
Internet explorer is another story

Hi,

Please take a look at the following Blue Prism University course. It should help in understanding what it is needed to use CSS Selector/XPath to work for Blue Prism.

https://university.blueprism.com/learn/course/16924/Spying%2520Using%2520CSS%2520Selector%2520and%2520Xpath

In one of the example walkthrough, your question of spying using data-id prefixed attribute is covered specifically.
