How to pick dates from a date picker in Uipath

First click on the date field to bring up the date picker, then as @Rahul_Unnikrishnan suggested. you would amend the selector (aaname) to make it a variable, inside a click activity to select the relevant date. The only thing you may need to look at is where is shows two dates of the same value, i.e. 30th March / 30th April etc. You can use UiExplorer to understand more the fine tuning of the selector to make sure you pick the correct one.

In short,

1. Check the selector of any date using Ui Explorer
2. Use variable in Selector of that date selector to create selector for your desired date.
3. Use Click activity to click on that dynamically created Selector element.

Thanks,
Ashok

i can’t copy and paste

[ashokkarale]

No worries, try above solution.

[Mohsin_Ali_Mohammed]

shall i use type into activity??

[ashokkarale]

No, you will have to use Click on the date text box to open the calendar popup and another Click to click on the dynamic date selector you will prepare.

Thanks,
Ashok

i can’t copy and paste

we would recommend to check more in detail and what is blocking you

From the selector we do see a input field of type text

Had you tried the set Text activity already? Also you can check if type into activity and the enableIfdisabled flag can help

[Mohsin_Ali_Mohammed]

thank you will try and let u know

[Mohsin_Ali_Mohammed]

is any way to set date with javascript?

[ppr (Peter Preuss)]

just share with us the detailed element structure details form the text field / date picker
we can inspect with UiExplorer / Browser F12 Web Tools

[Mohsin_Ali_Mohammed]

please see the following

1)div class=“react-datepicker__input-container”></div

2)div class=“react-datepicker-wrapper”>div class=“react-datepicker__input-container”>input type=“text” placeholder=“dd-mm-yyyy” class=“” value=“22-03-2024”></div</div
