I’m making a process using UI Automation, and recently (forcefully) switched from UiPath Studio Learning to UiPath Studio (the Learning version just disappeared from my computer).
And so some of the Studio UI, including the UIExplorer, as well as some activities changed, notably the type into activity now gives me a constant warning that “The Click before typing property is relevant only for the Hardware Events or Chromium API Input mode.”, but the property itself doesn’t appear in the properties pannel, and switching the input mode for turning the property off and then switching back to Simulate doesn’t remove the warning.
Am I missing something somewhere ? For clarity, here are the old and new looks of the activity:
Indeed, because the ClickBeforeTyping property is only relevant for Hardware Events or Chromium API input modes. When Simulate input is selected, the property is hidden but the analyzer still shows the message. This behavior is expected in the latest Studio and does not affect execution. You can safely ignore the warning when using Simulate input.
If you are wanting to make use of another input method that is not Chromium API or Hardware events, you can remove the warning by changing the “Click before typing” option from NClickMode.Single to NClickMode.None

No — the warning will not disappear even if you disable ClickBeforeTyping in Hardware Events and then switch back to Simulate Input. In the latest UiPath Studio, the analyzer rule is tied to the activity definition rather than the visible property panel, so it continues to flag the message whenever Simulate input is selected. This is expected behavior, purely informational, and does not affect execution.
If helpful, mark as solution. Happy automation with UiPath
