I am new here and working to do some basic movements. My automation worked beautifully a few months back. Now I have returned to learn more and this small action is not working and I cannot figure out how to get it working again.

I am trying to get to the ‘Open in new tab’ menu element. This quit working a month or so ago and I have been unable to figure out how to get it to work again.

Is there a trick to it?

The ‘right click’ used to access the element works… bringing the menu into view… the ‘left click’ to open the new tab fails…

When you’re trying to indicate the element you can press F2 and it pauses the element selection so you can do the right click and make the menu appear. Then when the selection resumes you can click the “Open link in new tab” - don’t move the mouse off the menu as UiPath gets the selector. If that doesn’t work you can turn on “hoverable element selection” with F6.

However, it’s easy to use a shortcut to open the link in a new tab. You hold CTRL while clicking the link.

Thanks Paul, very helpful.
How do I execute they ‘key modifier’ to insert the CTRL before the click?
I appreciate you post and guidance.
Best,
Don

It’s a property of the Click activity. Check the Ctrl box.

Thanks Paul, I found the property and have selected… still not working.

Am I in the right spot? Selecting the proper CTRL box?

Thanks

Yes.

What does “it’s not working mean?”

Thanks Paul,

Even with the property set to CTRL as part of the click action… there is no new browser tab opening.

I figured it out… thanks for your help. It dawned on me that it needed to be a CTRL ‘left click’ vs a right click. Working now. Thank you.
