# getCurrentElementLevel2ID\(\)

Returns the level 2 breakdown element identifier \(sys\_id\) from the indicator of the current formula. The sys\_id is returned dynamically, as the selection in the Analytics Hub changes.

Use this method when altering a formula for a specific element. For example, use the method when running a query to count different attributes, such as excluding scores for changes from groups that do not change.
