in a webpage I want to click text box based on label…the text box id is dynamic.so I am finding the element on the textbox name.

@LavanyaManoj
if the text box id is dynamic…, in the selector id…, you replace the id with this *

example:
id = 1
you replace with
id = *

6

yes…based on label name id…i have to pass the value to text box.

7

try replace the whatever dynamic selector with *

or

just uncheck the whatever dynamic selector if not needed.

then this might be the solution if you know how this activity works

https://forum.uipath.com/t/how-to-get-css-selector-based-on-inner-text/104319/3?u=wija

this activity can return the value of your selector attributes:
such as i believe you see ‘aaname’ selectors many times already,
that activity can return the value of the ‘aaname’ selectors.

example in selector:
aaname = LavanyaManoj

with that activity you can print out : LavanyaManoj

here,
there’s ‘innerText’ option that you want in Get Attribute activity.Untitled

please mark as solution if this helpful :slight_smile:

i can’t find innerText selector in any websites, only found css-selector.
so my example in this workflow is aaname selector → css-selector.

hope this helpful

You can’t. css-selector and innertext are two separate properties.

To get any property use the Get Attribute activity. However, css-selector may not be an actual property of the Ui Element, but is something made up by UiPath.

But why do you want to get the css-selector? They’re not reliable, don’t use them.
