Hello, Im dealing with the same problem in my project. This type of locator is working only with the xpath= prefix. I would like to kindly ask you if you plan to solve this issue in any of te upcoming releases?

Thank you, Michal

Hi, yes, we need to add the xpath= prefix for elements with multiple occurrences.
