Help

Hello friends,
I need to clear all the content inside a box before typing into the next number variable:

The problem is that the box has no proper UiPath Selector so I used the click image activity:

Can you help me in finding a way to clear all the content inside the box before selecting it with Click IMage?

Thank you so much,
Camilla :slight_smile:

@CamiCat typeinto activity has empty field property, check that field as shown in image below. It will clear the filed before typing.

Hi @CamiCat,

One more thing. it is a test . you have the selector in the image click. Please try the selector with Elementexists activity. Can you tell me the result.

A Suggestion.

Why don’t you try the findchildren activity ?
