can I use typeinto activity without indicating element on screen as in my automation there is requirement of updating fields on web page dynamically means if web page has 50 elements every time I will get request to update any 5 elements.
I have tried to use typeinto without indicating elelemt but it doesnt work
Is there any other activity available which will typeinto without indicating specific element?
Hi @shraddha_joshi
If each web elements had different selectors, then it would be difficult to do that
if each webelement has selector which has some index which is increasing for every field, u can use that to control the number of fields u need to fill
could u share the screenshot of webelements if possible?
Yes , using sendhotkeys and tabs I can reach to that element but after that I want to insert the value using typeinto there I am stuck and that’s the question here.
As it is not known which 5 elements to be updated from the set of 50, the typeinto is failing as it needs to be indicated on screen first .
A strategy could be to configure a dynamic selector and dynamizing the idx to the field. then with one typeinto with a loop different fields can be populated
should not be a blocker, depends on details and on how the flow is setup.
Kindly note: we had implemented similar scenarios a more often time and bots are running sucessfully in production. We focused very strong this approach with dynamized selectors as we were able to reduce the entering part to a minimum number of activities and avoided redundancies.
