I added a record and I want to verify if the correct value was saved but I am seeing the text inside the ID field displayed in the webpage but if I go to Inspect Element and look for that text, I can only see the tag for that field but it does not contain the text thus I cannot identify the locator.

What tool, or means, are you using to “Inspect Element”? Are you using Dev-Tools or something within KS?

If you hit F12, then Open Dev-Tools, you can use the Inspect Tool (upper left icon within the HTML area), or use CTRL + SHIFT + C, and then click on your object, it will show the HTML of your specific object. While you are in the HTML area, if you click on the Properties tab **below** you should get a list of all the properties of your object. Scroll through the list and see if any of them have what you are looking for, such as “value” or “textcontent”.
