Automation opens multiple windows in Edge

Hi I have a question, I’m fairly new with UiPath (so I’m still learning all the terminololgy)

I’ve written an “For Each Excel Row” automation.

It opens a webpage from a link in a desktop app.
For some reason it opens the webpage multiple times. I’ve set the “Click type” to “single click” and I also tried setting “input mode” to “Hardware events”.

After the first iteration it again opens an extra webpage.
Also it keeps the original page on top.

When I try the same steps manually it doesn’t open a new webpage.
Any suggestions?

Hi @connexie ,
Welcome to UiPath Community.

It seems that you are using open browser activity in for each loop. keep the open browser out of the loop. Hope it helps.

Thank you,
Anjani

No that’s not it I think. The first time the browser opens is not within the loop.
Also the end of the loop is go back to the home page.

Use the modern activity named use application browser and set the new instance launch property to if not open
And in the url you can pass ital variable or value from row

I found the solution. It was indeed the open browser activity that kept opening a new window. I solved by replacing the URL to an *.
