I have a form in my process that contains a text field. When i inspect the form

ambrishs over 10 years ago

I have a form in my process that contains a text field. When i inspect the form in Mozilla i can see its element id something like textControl_fd_component_JSON_TASK_NS_213text28. But when I migrate the process from one environment to another environment its id is textControl_fd_component_JSON_TASK_NS_202text28. Not sure from where this 213 or 202 is being added in the ID. When i open the task form the element id is text28 and i do not have any issue its value.
Any help?...

Do you have any problem with that? This is the way Appian builds the HTML for the browser. There is a JS variable "window.FormDesigner.runtimeNamespace" that holds this value.

What are you trying to achieve? If you're trying to dynamically show/hide form fields, check this documentation: forum.appian.com/.../Creating_Dynamic_Form_Fields and this sample application: forum.appian.com/.../7888

We are doing test automation, and we use the element Id from browser to fillin form element values, but since element ID on form is not same across environment, the same code for populating form element can not be used across environment. Any suggestion on how to handle this.
Thanks!
