Hello,

I have an issue with IFrames. F.e On lead creation form there were few frames with the names: ContentIFrame1 and ContentIFrame0. As I am writing automation scripts, which says Selenium to switch from default content to one of the frames according to my needs and make some actions, after solution import, updates - Iframe id changed to f.e ContentIFrame2 so I should change scripts again and again.

Could anyone explain me, how CRM dynamics generates these iframes? What changes in the system, that IFrame name changes also? Some changes also were noticed with the searc field.

RE: Why Dynamics 365 page Iframe changes?

Unfortunately, this is entirely up to Microsoft. This is why working with the HTML DOM model is not recommended/supported in Dynamics.

Not sure if you've seen EasyRepro: github.com/.../EasyRepro

Presumably, that solution is supported by Microsoft, so I am guessing they would know how to locate different HTML elements safely.. Although, I'd still question whether it's a safe/stable/reliable approach and how much maintenance would be required..
