Error: Requested property was not in the CacheRequest

Hello!

I’m inside the ExcelApplicationScope activity and struggling to enter the folder name in the MS Windows “Open file” window.

When pasting the value to the “Folder name” field, I get the error:
'Set Text ‘edit Folder name:’: Requested property was not in the CacheRequest

Any idea what might be the reason for this? I looked literally everywhere but could not find an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please see the below screenshots for reference:

Is there a reason you are not using Type Into activity?

hi @michael.zura

Thanks for replying, I completely forgot about TypeInto activity. It works, however much slower than SetText.

Although your hint solves my problem, it would be practical to understand why the SetText throws the error.

@dbukk
Glad it works. If you could provide more information on your flow, maybe we can figure out why the Set Text is not working?

1.Inside my workflow I have a Switch statement.
2.Inside the Switch statement I go through a couple of cases, each of them uses the ExcelApplicationScope.
3. The ExcelApplicationScope open a .xlsm file from a variable and then runs the macro by clicking on a button inside.
4. When macro is running, it opens several input boxes and asks for folders, files, etc.
5. These input boxes apparently do not accept the UiPath Set Text activity, but only TypeInto.
