Type into Error - % sign getting added

Help Activities

When I do copy to clipboard and use type into " [d(ctrl)]v[u(ctrl)]" a percent sign is automatically getting included “%[d(ctrl)]v[u(ctrl)]”, leading to a "Type into Edit: special key System Exception. " How to get over this?

Thank you,

Hi @A_Learner

It seems like a bug.

Hi @A_Learner

Are you using classic or modern activities?

Using classic activities. Thank you.

was an unexpected behaviour in some package versions. We can correct it afterwards within the property panel

6

The properties panel does not show the %. The design panel shows % and it is throwing an exception. If I remove %, it is getting added back.

Hi @A_Learner

Instead of “type into” use “Set text” activity

Maybe using a replace / variable can be a workaround

Hi @A_Learner

Instead of Type Into use the Set Text activity because it will remove that special character while typing.

SetText is also getting the same % sign.

Hi @A_Learner

Yeah in the activity it will show the % symbol but while typing it will remove that symbol.
