Problems with selected objects

Help and Support
1

Hi Distill Support Team,

I am a paid user and I am experiencing a persistent issue that is causing a significant amount of manual rework.

The Problem: I am monitoring two specific elements: 'oldPrice' and 'defaultPromoPrice'. Initially, I select them using the Visual Selector. However, after some time, the monitor automatically expands the selection to 30-40 elements without any apparent reason.

Consequences:

  1. Data Pollution: When I download the CSV, it includes all the incorrectly selected elements, creating confusion and extra work for my data analysis.

  2. Maintenance Overhead: Currently, my only workaround is to duplicate the monitor and delete the old one, which is unsustainable as I manage hundreds of monitors.

Request: I need a permanent solution to “lock” my selection so it doesn’t expand automatically. Could you please help me find a stable CSS or XPath selector for these elements that prevents this behavior?

I am available to provide the monitor’s JSON or specific URLs if needed for your investigation.

Looking forward to a quick resolution.

Best regards,

@smallo Thanks for explaining in detail.
In your case, the following CSS selectors should work:
.product-info-price [data-price-type=‘oldPrice’]

.product-info-price [data-price-type=‘defaultPromoPrice’]

Replace the CSS selectors with the ones I suggested and you should not be running into the issue you have explained.

Can this be applied globally to all my 800+ monitors at once?

@smallo I would suggest you to test it on 2 - 3 monitors first and see how it goes. If it looks good and you are getting the desired output, then proceed to apply for all the 800+ monitors.
