Currently using UI Path version 2023.4.4 , for the automation scripts built on older versions inUIPath when opened in new version 2023.4.4 ,for the Attach Browser activity ‘InputMode’ property is missing in properties window.
Actual Requirement : Want to set the inputmode property of the browser to Background
Workaround done :
Tried to upgrade the older script package versions , that is for UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities is now upgraded to latest version of 23.4.8 . Still the InputMode property doesnot show up. How to get that. some one please help

To Add on , Understand only UseBrowser activity in the latest version has InputMode Property . In our older version scripts only AttachBrowser Activity are being used. But how to make use of inputmode property to Background for AttachBrowser activity. Let us know if any other alternate solutions.

@mahalakshmi.ethiraj,

The attach browser activity is merged into Use application browser activity.

The input method you can use to work it in background is Simulate

Thanks,

HI,

Can you share screenshot of the “InputMode” property? What version of UiAutoamtion package do you use?
I cannot find it even if using old UiAutoamtion package in Legacy project.

Thank you @ashokkarale , will try the same. I see Simulate property not available for attachbrowser activity. But still can see simulate in other individual activities like click, typeinto inside attachbrowser. Also, I have to change too many activities and work flows if i go for simulate option in olderscripts. Pls recommend any other suggestion if available.

Hi,

It’s UseApplication/Browser activity. (not AttachBrowser activity)
Perhaps you should use UseApplication/Browser activity instead of AttachBrowser if you need to use InputMode property.

It is Use Application/ Browser activity which I was talking about. Though it’s much rework, but we don’t have any other option than this.

Cheers!

Hello

Have a look at this link and scroll down to the section Differences between Modern Experience and Classic Experience

Here you can see a comparison of which Modern activities replace the Classic ones.
