Selection/input of date values - web automations

[AlexGabriel97 (Alex)]

Hello there,

I am trying to automate the download of a certain report from a public, government-owned website - which is not that user/bot friendly - and I am facing an issue regarding the selection/input of 2 dates: one date which is the start date for the report and one end date.

The date field itself is not editable, it is grayed out

But if I click on the calendar icon I can:
a. manually select a date or
b. type into the date field the desired date

Could you help me to find a solution for typing the date into the date field? Everything I’ve tried failed. Here is the website, you could try it yourself: https://mj.rnpm.ro/#cautare/AS

Thank you!

Hi @AlexGabriel97

Please use like described in xaml

DateType.xaml (15.9 KB)

Note: I did it using Edge , if you are using chrome change the app=‘chrome.exe’ in selectors and it should work

cheers
