Siva,
You can extract the unique value from the OuterHtml property of every button (clone) and use it as a unique identifier. Then you can store that value in a lookup table as a key and check if the key exist in the table before clicking on the button.

Hi Abhishek,
Thanks for your suggestions. There is no key ID assigned to the buttons, and there is no pattern for the numbers. I encountered the webpage with 2 buttons and 4 buttons. I I do not know what the pattern will be if there are 3 buttons for example. When there were 4 buttons these were the outer HTML for each of the buttons. As you can see there is no id.
<input class="btn btn_green" onclick="confJobSubmit("3","20","checkBox_20");" type="button" value="Submit"></input>
<input class="btn btn_green" onclick="confJobSubmit("3","50","checkBox_50");" type="button" value="Submit"></input>
<input class="btn btn_green" onclick="confJobSubmit("3","230","checkBox_230");" type="button" value="Submit"></input>
<input class="btn btn_green" onclick='confJobSubmit("3","310","checkBox_310");' type="button" value="Submit"></input>

Hi Siva,
Use outer html in your attribute value match rule then try this
<input class="btn btn_green" onclick="confJobSubmit("3",*,"checkBox_*");" type="button" value="Submit"></input>

Hi Abhishek,
I want to uniquely identify each button on each loop interaction, so that I can click on a separate button in each iteration. The above match rule is matching all the different submit buttons on the webpage, and robot is clicking the same button on each loop iteration

Closing the loop on this:
From @JaydeepB :
I have distinguished between the submit buttons based on the outer HTML. To click on each of the buttons, I created a control in Robotics Studio for each submit button and created an Attribute Value match rule based on the Outer HTML for each button. For our use case, the assumption for now is that there will 4 submit buttons at max.
