Inquiry Regarding the "Click" Activity Configuration in UiPath

Good afternoon,

I hope this message finds you well. I am currently undergoing training in UiPath and would like to ask a question regarding the “Click” activity, specifically in relation to a practical exercise I am working on.

I have encountered an issue where the program is not recognizing the element when the field value differs from the one initially used when the activity was created. Below is a summary of the issue:

  • When the “Click” activity was created, the field value was as follows: Sun 24 Nov - Sat 30 Nov

  • However, the current field value is now: Tue 24 Dec - Wed 25 Dec

As a result, the activity does not recognize the element in the interface. I would like to know if there is a property within the “Click” activity that allows it to be configured to select the field regardless of its current content. Alternatively, is there another activity that is less sensitive to variations in field values?

I appreciate your assistance in advance and look forward to your guidance.

Best regards

Hi!

It’s not about the activity itself, it is about the selector you have chosen to use.
Try via UiExplorer to find some other attribute which has a low probability to change.

There are a lot of articles and threads about this topic:

Hi @Gonza_Espindola, I agree with @sven.wullum1. The problem can be fixed by improving your selector. Can you send a screenshot of the selector you are using? It’s a property of the activity.
