Handling Click Issues for Hover-Based Elements in UiPath

[jai_kumar2 (jai kumar)]

Hi, I need to click the “Save as PDF” option, but I’m facing issues with different click methods:

Modern Click: It returns a “duplicate matches found” error, even after using all possible anchors.

Classic Click: Since the option appears only on hover, I can’t select it without hovering, making this method unusable.

CV Click: Also not viable for the same reason.

Click Image: Works sometimes, but occasionally throws an “image not found” error.

Is there an alternative method to handle this? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You can use classic click as well as it would have option to select element after delay

Also in modern you can edit selector in ui explorer to include name or so to click on it and make it unique

Hi @jai_kumar2

You can use the Click activity and indicate the Save As PDF element. When Indicating in the selector options window select the hover option then it will work as both hover and click.

After indicating it check the Strict selector and uncheck the fuzzy and computer vision options. By selecting Strict selector it won’t throw duplicate elements found error. Then click on Validate.

Check the below image for better understanding,

Hope it helps!!

1.Add a “Hover” activity" on the menu item.
2.Add a “Send Hotkey” activity (↓ Down Arrow + Enter) to select “Save as PDF.”

Hope it helps
