Issue with Losing References and Element Positions in Screen Recordings After SAP Build Automation

[André4]

I am using SAP Build Automation, and after the latest update, I noticed that all the screen recordings have lost their references and element positions (clicks). This has significantly impacted the automation flows, as the interactions are no longer working as expected.

Could you please confirm if it is common for this to happen after an update? Is there a solution or any best practices to prevent this loss of data in future updates? I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve or mitigate this issue with screen recordings.

Looking forward to your response.

Hello Andre, thanks fo reaching out to us,   

• It's not uncommon for UI structure changes to affect screen recordings after updates.
• Re-recording the interactions and using more dynamic or relative selectors will help resolve the issue.
• Following best practices for backup, dynamic references, and version control will reduce the risk of losing data in future updates.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further guidance or run into any issues.
