ID Selector always change

[Dari (César Dariel Arévalo Pérez)]

Hi people. I have a question about the how working with a selector where the id always change.

I’m working in a project where I need to fill a lot of tables in the same page. From example.
One page have 6 tables same’s, other page have 10 tables (With the same structuration and UI). My best idea is do this:

Use the activity Find Children for get all the tables, run a loop and fill each input with the Data (This data come from a excel file that get at the started of the process)

The problem is that this solution not is the best because the ID always change, I tried use other attributes but I can’t because exist a lot of tables so similar. What can I do for get a better solution?. I hope that the explication have be good

Hi @Dari

If the title of field is different, you can use anchor based activity. So it doesn’t dependent on only ID attribute.

can you share me a example?. I tried but maybe I did not use the activity properly put in the file side a find element that will be search for the name of the table and the right side put the find children for the DIV.

You can see the workaround of anchor based activity in the following UiPath sample

Rpa Challenge

Use anchor based activity: To it’s left add Find Element, to it’s right add Type Into

For your reference:

Example for Anchor Base Activity

Please see example on this link (at the bottom) including the clear explanation how it works =) Anchor base Activity> Find Element Label (left) Activity > Type into (right side of find element) cheers
