'Target Properties' Error

[musmanq (Mohd Usman)]

Hi all,
I am frequently getting an error message in Studio at right top corner.
Please guide to understand this message.

@musmanq

that is not an error its just a information banner

in the new studio any element you indicate will be automatically added to object repository as an element

so whenever you want to edit an element you need to go to object repository and edit it instead of editing it in the properties panel of individual activities

hope this helps

cheers

@musmanq,

It’s just for your information message.

This warning typically appears in UiPath Studio when you’re using modern design experience and have added a UI element (like a button, textbox, etc.) from the Object Repository into an activity (like Click, Type Into, etc.).

What It Means:

UiPath Studio is telling you that the target selector of the activity is now linked to the Object Repository, and you should not manually edit the selector directly in the activity. Instead, you should:

• Edit the element in the Object Repository panel if you want to change the selector or properties.
• This ensures centralized management of UI elements, which is one of the key benefits of using the Object Repository.

If you prefer to manage selectors directly in each activity (not recommended):

• You can click on Unlink and then you can safely edit the selectors manually for that particular activity/Ui Element.

Hi @musmanq

As described above, the message is only to notify you that the element should be edited in the Object Repository.

If you click the Show link then it will take you to that specific element in the Object Repository.
Right click the element itself to Edit Descriptor, Highlight (show in GUI), Rename etc.
