Hi @jibanjyoti,

Your approach (keyboard automation) won’t work since the fields are dynamically changing their position and order. You may have Last Name, First Name, Email or Email, First Name, Last Name.

The hint is to uses the Anchor Based activity. The task is very difficult… especially since the Anchor is not yet documented :)).

The winner is @ashis-kumar.singh. He managed to automate via selectors.
We’ll come back with a more difficult one. :))

@beesheep: your solution works too… but in the next version the coordinates of the inputs will change relative to the labels. Image automation should be avoided on web.

Congrats to all that solved :slight_smile:

Since it’s already solved might as well - attached AnchorBase solution (with ColumnName based selectors and a slight reduction in wait times).
100% accuracy.
Added a stopwatch - from pressing Start to last submission it measured 7460ms (7,5s - pretty nice) on my machine. Whole workflow with reading excel etc. completed in 19s.

Hello, has there been a change in the rpachallenge.com markup? The solution provided by @andrzej.kniola has stopped working for me :frowning:

Probably. Though Anchor should still work in most of the cases.

Mix of @andrzej.kniola - column based selectors and @Jishnu_Kumar - dynamic TypeInto selector (without Click or Find Label Anchor) works pretty well and consistent with minimal activities. 12 seconds from Start to last submission
