How to find a complex( Parent+ child) xpath on selenium java

Question

I need to a find an element on my webpage that has same tags as every other element and hence I need to find the xpath based on the title of the sub-section[parent].

Below is the html code of the webpage:

Basically I want to find an element inside the li tag based on the Scheduled text on the above image. The id attribute on the li tag is dynamic and hence we need to traverse it based on the Scheduled text in the webpage. Please let me know how it can be done.

What about using Chrome / Firefox to get the xpath? Example [here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/42194160/9321274) — Thibaud Ledent, Dec 23 '19 at 13:53
@Vinyasjain77, Please try to add the source html instead of the html image for better responses. — Sooraj, Dec 23 '19 at 14:22
