Activity not working properly

Help StudioX

Hi guys.
So I was creating an automation using Studio X and using Get Text activity I copied some text from a web browser. And using Type Into activity I pasted where I needed to. And as I ran the robot and arrived at the Type Into activity step I observed that the text that was written in the browser, was written multiple times instead of once

Anybody has any ideas why is this happening? I don’t have this activity in a loop section and is not used multiple times? Thank you!

Hi @Stefan_Rahlitchi

Can you show me how you have passed the data from Get Text to Type into activity.

  • Clipboard Content Issue:
  • Ensure that the text copied using the Get Text activity is correct and doesn’t contain multiple copies.
  • Sometimes, the clipboard might have residual data from previous operations. Clear the clipboard before copying the text.
  • Activity Configuration:
  • Double-check the properties of the Type Into activity. Ensure that the “Simulate Type” or “SendWindowMessages” options are configured correctly.
  • Multiple Instances of the Type Into Activity:
  • Verify that there are no multiple instances of the Type Into activity accidentally placed in your workflow.
  • Workflow Execution:
  • Ensure that there is no part of your workflow that is unintentionally triggering the Type Into activity multiple times.

I can’t because the program is on another laptop which I don’t have access now. But you can try to copy some text with Clipboard option in Get text activity and paste it somewhere with Type Into activity and see if it happens to you the same

@Stefan_Rahlitchi,

  1. Is it happening with only this Type Into activity or others as well?
  2. Try deleting existing activity and add another Type Into and configure it. May be the current one is misconfigured somehow.
  3. If Point 2 don’t resolved the issue, try upgrading the UiPath.System.Activity to latest version. If already on latest version, try downgrading one version.

Thanks,
