IMO UIPath Find children is broken when using with SAP :frowning: I see no reason it not to work like in other cases as it can “return children” when there are no wildcards used in filter (returns all children)
What makes it broken is that it returns only first children when used with wildcards filter.

However, about your example, I might not got all details about that but do you need get childrens of particular SAP element or just one specific? You are using filter that is not using wildcards so why not find what cell number “Sales Doc” column is and use it in selector to get actual cell/element what you want?

@JJDev
1.When u click on the 1st cell u will see the following selector

<sap colName=‘VBELN’ id=‘usr/cntlGRID1/shellcont/shell’ tableRow=‘0’ />
you can check in the .xaml i shared in the start of thread
Table row is the one which keeps changing…
2. Filter - I have used the dynamic selector in the Filter(you can see that for tableRow i have done it dynamic) In find children activity

3.Yes i have to click on all those cells which are present in the .excel file.
well on the SAP form - in Column - "Sales Doc" these all cells are at different places some are above some are below
4. might be the cells in the column are at - cell A0, A10 or A50 or A99 etc

Hope these details are fine.

Can you please help me with this.
Thaks in advance,
Sonika

One workaround to get certain elements from Collection of elements [obtained using find children in SAP] is to use Where Query.
lets say you want all elements containg text attribute as some value which is non null, usually thats where the information recides in SAP.

eg
UiEleCollection = ElementsFromFindChildren.Where(Function(x1) String.isNullOrEmpty(Convert.ToString(x1.Get(“text”))).Equals(False))

The lambda Expression can be anything that returns True/False

It is certainly not as good as the Filter that works properly in Browser, but it is a workaround that gets the job Done.
