Hello,
unfortunately even after lot of effort from Katalon devs side xpaths generated from recored are not the best ones as you can see in your error:

xpath generated is :
//span[@id=‘LiverpoolTheme_wt221_block_wtMainContent_wt152_SEACommon_wt1_block_wtSectionListRecords_ctl00_wt9_wtQuestionSections_ctl00_wt4_wt5_wtQuestionsList_ctl00_wt18_wtListRecords1’]/div/div
this id seems to me like something that was generated by application, thus can change from execution to execution…
try to use really unique xpath or css to point Katalon to your element.

perhaps is the time for you to reconsider your approach and try different locators? e.g CSS selectors?
the xpath locators are only a ‘best guess’. different recording tools may find different ones.

and yeah … giving more details regarding the app you attempt to test (like full html code and the element you try to reach highlited) will help other people to help you better.

just saying …
