Once after adding the Objects to the Object Repository, I wanted to export the repository to XML format. In the XML format which I had opened, noticed that id for every particular object were generated in Random. Is there any way to edit those IDs and save it. It is not the process ID or control ID. it is just an id , below mentioned is the snippet:
<appfolder
name="ABC"
id="77f6a84d-3325-40fc-83ce-1e0e751299e8" // is there any way to change this id in the Object Repository itself to user understandable name
searchtimeout="30000ms"
capname="form"
isrooted="True"
usecache="True">

Re: Changing of IDs in Ranorex (XML)
Hi,
Nope, it's not possible to change this ID. It's automatically generated internal ID, which is not supposed to be changed and used outside Ranorex.

Re: Changing of IDs in Ranorex (XML)
As Pavel said, it should not be changed.
This id is actually a GUID, which has a specific format that it MUST follow. It is HEXIDECIMAL notation.
Do NOT change them or you will end up with errors and non-working tests.
