Hi @sandeep.pund
Because Teamcenter BOAT fields are not normal textboxes, Type Into won’t work.
Use this method:
1. Click on the English Name field
2. Set Clipboard → your text
3. Send Hotkey: Ctrl + V (paste)

This works even when typing is blocked.

Hi @sandeep.pund ,

Here is what i do usually if i dont find the selectors properly. When you click on indicate element and hoover the mouse to the target and click on F4 on your keyboard that will change the default framework and then click on your target

or you can use UiExplorer to grab the selectors , you can change the framework and spy the elements on the screen. This approach worked for me when there is no proper selectors available with default framework

Hi @sandeep.pund

Use F4 while indicating the element to switch UI frameworks (Default/AA/UIA) and try again.

Or open UiExplorer, change the framework there, and capture the element. This helps when default selectors don’t work.

@nishiijain2000 firstly thanks for suggestion,
Actually, i tried using a separate use app/brwoser activity for this small window as @Anil_G mentioned now it’s working, so am testing, if that’s breaking something or not working than i will try as you suggested.

rowIndex =
dt.AsEnumerable().
Select(Function(r) If(IsDBNull(r(“a”)), “”, r(“a”).ToString.Trim)).
ToList().
IndexOf(“abc”)

Hi,

Step-by-step solution

  1. Click the field: Use a Click activity to focus on the desired “English designation” input field in Teamcenter.
  2. Set the text to the clipboard: Use the Set Clip board activity to place the desired English name of the component onto the system clipboard.
  3. Paste the text: Use the Send Hotkey activity with the ctrl+v combination to paste the content from the clipboard into the focused field.

This method is more reliable for non-standard UI elements like those found in the Teamcenter Business Object Administration Tool (BOAT) interface.
