Allow dashes in action selectors
1 source thread · first seen 2026-09
Summary
OpenUI5-generated element IDs contain dashes that action selectors reject, preventing the product owner from defining actions without developer involvement. The request is to support dashes in selectors.
- Affects
- Product owners tracking events in OpenUI5 applications
- Workaround
- Add dash-free data-attr hooks or assign custom IDs, both of which still require developer involvement or retain the dashes.
