Hello @meeraa Try to set the selector more dynamically. And use highlight option to verify the selector shows correct indication on website. Refer this video [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/6/a/8/6a8bf713bc6a9eaeca8529998b98913f3329d30c.jpeg "What are Input Actions in UiPath | Click Activity Properties | Type Into & Send Hot Keys") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk4r1luVKEI) ---

Hi @meeraa Have a look on the Docs > **[Dynamic Selectors](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/docs/dynamic-selectors)** > > A dynamic selector uses a variable or an argument as a property for the attribute of your target tag. This allows the selector to easily identify a target element based on the value of the variable or argument, and not an exact string, which might... Hope it will helps Regards Gokul ---
