@langsem

Enable the Stimulate Click from properties of TypeInto

OR
You can use Set text activity also

You are fine to go

Hope this helps you

Thanks

Hi @langsem

I think you can also escape [ with another [, like so:

Simulate Click??? I do not see such an option. Where exactly can this be found?

In my case I used the TypeInto activity. My text string contained two special characters of [ and ] or square brackets. I replaced the special characters in the string being written with the recommended double brackets as @langsem mentioned above. Here is how I did this:

inStringVar.Replace("[","[[").Replace("]","]]")

where inStringVar was the name of the variable I was using in the TypeInto activity.
