The modern Ui Automation Activities are more inconvenient
to use than before, and when manually testing,
the selector is found, but an error occurs when running it,
saying that it is still not found.
Classic Activities do not have this problem.
Modern Excel Activities are also inconvenient to use.
They have good features, but
UiPath uses classes it created itself,
so there are not enough properties or methods for Row and Column objects.
Please understand that there are people who implement flows manually without recording them.
package version 24.10.11
Activity : Get Text, Click and more modern activity
In modern activities - for selector - there are 2 options. Fuzzy Selector and Strict Selector
By default - the value selected will be fuzzy selector. You have the option to change it to Strict Selector and capture similar to classic activity. Hope this will solve your immediate problem
You can use the Classic activities in your project as your wish. In Studio all Classic activities are available. So you can use it.
Classic activities will be deprecated in future but for now you can use those.
If you want to use classic activities, open the activities panel → Click on filter → Check the Classic. After that if you search for any activity it will show both Modern and Classic activities.
I already know.
I always prefer strict selectors.
i make with a customizing strict selector, but when actually executed,
In some special situation it still says that the selector is not found.
I know.
Modern activity keeps causing errors,
so I had no choice but to use classic activity to implement the flow.
I hope classic activity doesn’t disappear until modern activity is complete.
Classic activities are not going anywhere as of now at least. So do not worry about their deprecation. You can track all upcoming deprecations here: Overview - Deprecation timeline
Regarding all your concerns and worries, keep submitting your feedback to UiPath Product team on insider portal here: https://insider.uipath.com/
You can also submit bugs directly from the Studio and also here on Forum.
We cannot say when will be the Classic activities will be totally deprecated in UiPath. If you have a good knowledge on using Modern activities these have more features than Classic activities. So learn and use Modern activities, this is recommendable solution for your query.
Thank you for reply
I have raised an issue because there is a problem with the modern activity
I also want to use the modern activities as much as possible.
I use modern activities exclusively. It just sounds like you don’t know how to create selectors properly. Show selectors that aren’t working, maybe we can help you learn.
That’s a great point! Learning modern activities may take some time, but they are definitely valuable to master.
If you’re facing an issue with a specific activity, it might be best to raise or report it. The UiPath team will then review it and provide a fix or solution.
I started UiPath in 2018.
I may not know much about modern activities,
but I am confident in setting selectors.
See below
Even though it clearly passed validation,
Get Text throws selector Not found.
The Classic activities in the Google Workspace package are completely different. I NEVER use those modern activities. I literally can’t. They don’t connect with a Google Service Account.

Unfortunately, the project is confidential and cannot be shared.
I guess
In use application/browser,
Even if reassign the window selector of other activities,
It seems to recognize the window selector of use application/window.
The selector used in the activity is built from the use application window selector and the rest of the selector in the activity. The activity window selector is generally ignored when used inside the use application scope.
hello
i know this window is additional popup
so i did reassign window selector for get text activity
this is the case when validation is performed and it is displayed as normal, but it does not work when actually executed.
