Set div id attribute for the Layouts
Can we set id attribute for the layouts so that when I inspect the screen on browser it should show the <div id="myID"> instead of auto generated id.

Which Pega version are you using, and what kind of layout?
You can't set the ID, but on the presentation tab for a Dyanmic Layout, if you enable "Display advanced presentation options" then you can set a CSS class that will be included in the class attribute of the DIV.
You can also set a value for "Test ID" in the general tab which will set the data-test-id attribute.

Thanks Marc for the reply!
Pega Version is 7.4 and Layout is Dynamic Layout and Repeating Layout.
I am aware of Test ID and CSS class. I am specially looking for id .

Hi Ajay,
I don't think we would be able to give id attribute for an auto generated control .
You can make use of Tour id or Test id for that control for testing purpose .
or we should create a custom control in order to have our own id's .

Thanks bathb for the reply!
I am specially looking for id . I could have use Test ID but Test ID is only available for controls not for Layouts.

Hi Ajay, Would it be possible to explain us your use-case that way we could see if there are alternatives since there is no out-of-box option to have id selector on auto generated layout.
Thanks,

Hi Chithra,
Thanks for the reply. Now we are using Tour ID(data-tour-id) as an alternative.

Hi Ajay, Using tour id or test id may not be a good candidate but as suggested by Marc use "Display advanced presentation options" in the presentation to set CSS class would be a better choice.
