Could not GetAncestryInfo

I am using an automation that starts the App version of Microsoft OneNote. I am trying to delete an already existing section in OneNote, but when I use the click activity for deleting it, I get the error message “Could not GetAncestryInfo”.

I could not find any information about this error anywhere so I figured I would ask here to see if anyone knows anything about this or has a solution!

@Robert_Wennberg Could you please share the selector of Click activity?

That’s the other issue, there is no selector at all. It’s not possible to get any result from the click activity since the error occurs as soon as I click.

I’ve faced the same issue - Just UIA framework don’t work at all - Empty selector returned from activity Click and “Indicate element”, and this error Could not GetAncestryInfo after indicating via UI Explorer

like these cases, i was using send hot keys with arrows to position the relevant field. it was working fine for me.
