There is a table that I want to get the XPATH of, however the amount of rows and columns is inconsistent across results so I can’t just right click and get copy the full XPATH.
My current code:
result_priority_number = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "/html/body/div/div[2]/div[6]/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[18]/td[2]")
The table header names though are always consistent. How do I get the value of an element where the table header specifically says something (i.e. "Priority Number")
>Solution :

Never use this method. Xpath has a very useful feature for search! It isn’t just for nested pathing!
//td[contains(text(),'header value')]
or if it has many tables and you want only one of its:
//table[@id='id_of_table']//td[contains(text(),'header value')]
or the table hasn’t id or class:
//table[2]//td[contains(text(),'header value')]
where 2 is index of table in page
and other many feature for searching in html nodes
in your case, for get Filing language:
//td[contains(text(),'Filing language')]/following-sibling::td
