[Python] When using 'Get element attribute' it adds a value count. Is it possible to neglect...

I want to get a value from a textbox that's automically generated from user input in different textboxs and dates.

${var} get element attribute xpath=path_to_xpath value
log ${var}


When checking the log the output is as following:

GENERATEDINPUT_V001

GENERATEDINPUT_V002

GENERATEDINPUT_V003

I don't need the _V001, V002, V003 part, but I don't see an option to neglect it. This is the documentation of the 'Get element Attribute' keyword:

def get_element_attribute(
self, locator: Union[WebElement, str], attribute: str
) -> str:
"""Returns the value of ``attribute`` from the element ``locator``.

See the `Locating elements` section for details about the locator
syntax.

Example:
| ${id}= | `Get Element Attribute` | css:h1 | id |

Passing attribute name as part of the ``locator`` was removed
in SeleniumLibrary 3.2. The explicit ``attribute`` argument
should be used instead.
"""
return self.find_element(locator).get_attribute(attribute)

I know it's possible to strip the part, but is there an easier way like a on/off setting?

I checked the documentation and browsed online for a solution

If you need to strip it:

${Var_without_valuecount} = Get Substring ${Var} 0 -5
log ${Var_without_valuecount}


Now the log shows: GENERATEDINPUT
