I tried the same activity in another combo box but I can’t find the issue in it.

I don’t know if it’s the issue of ‘Vaadin’ framework.
How can I solve it?

Hi @Gopalakrishnan_K

Can you please increase ‘DelayBetweenKeys’ and try? The default value is 10 milli second.

Thank you.

@Gopalakrishnan_K

Then there might be a auto limitation in the software might be?

Can you check manually entering?

Thanks

Special characters can be interpreted as specific hotkeys.
Possible workarounds:

  • change the input method to other options, such as ‘simulate type’
    image. This mostly avoids characters to be interpreted as a hotkey.
  • Use set text or slect item activities if possible
  • In the rare occasion that this all doesn’t work: use the clipboard.
    Paste your string to the clipboard using the ‘set to clipboard’ activity, and use ‘send hotkey’ activity (with ctrl-v) to paste the value in the target control.

Set to clipboard worked for me. Thanks for the solution.
