Your screenshot is cropped at the left and top. I need to see if the button in the dialog is inside an iframe. I also need to see the HTML structure to work out a selector that will allow you to target the button.

String xpath = (‘href="’ + dynamicId) + ‘"]’

TestObject to = new TestObject(‘a_Reset’)

to.addProperty(‘xpath’, ConditionType.EQUALS, xpath)

WebUI.click(Reset)

It’s not possible to teach you the art of programming here on a forum - no one has the time for that.

The code I gave you should be used in place of line 15 in your original screenshot. Move in to Script View, and try pasting that code instead of line 15.
