Changing Selectors Each and Everytime

Help
1

Trying to automate linkdin website, but the issue is in selectors. The selectors are changing each n everytime. I am using type into and click activities. Help me to find the proper solution.

Copy your entire selector and assign it to a variable @Amarjeet_Tharkar,

Change the values , I mean if the count of values are changing everytime, increment a count variable everytime and append it to the string and give the selector variable in the selector property

Thank You for your reply @HareeshMR,

The problem is selector is getting change every time when I execute the bot.
If you have sample code, Could you please post the same.
I doubt weather Linkedin is restricting the automation.

You mean the selector itself is changing?

@priyankavivek I tried everything but not able to find the solution.
I doubt if Linkedin not support automation due to security reasons.
If possible could you please check once using linkedin and help me if you find any solution.

Hello, I am having the same issue in SAP type applications and web applications. To get arround this, I am using ‘On Image Appear’ or ‘Find Image’. If the selector changes on each run, try to tie to an image within the page and to a Anchor Base to that image to click or type into. Hope this helps

So say you need to click a field. Find a unique image near that field you need to click and wait for it to appear. When it appears, you can have an anchor base tied to that image and have it click where you need to click.
