Hi @Casper_Thrane

I'm assuming you meant using the attribute id instead of the name attribute to compute the transaction name when the user clicks on a button. If not please expand your question to give more contexts if my assumption is wrong.

To give a transaction name when a element is clicked the RUM agent seeks for

  • the attribute data-transaction-name in the target element or one of its ancestors
  • the attribute name in the target element
  • If no value is found it falls back to the element tagName

So you may use data-transaction-name as a place to add the name you want for your transaction.
