Unable to Edit Selector in Extract Table Data Activity

[Jasmin_Bar]

Hi everyone,

I’m working with the Extract Table Data activity using the modern UI Automation experience in UiPath, and I’m facing an issue with editing the selector.

However, I’m unable to properly edit or refine this selector. The selector field seems very limited compared to other activities, and I don’t see options to indicate or adjust it the way I normally would.

as per screenshot looks like an SAP table is being scrapped..if the table id is usr always then this selector should be good

if not you can open ui explorer and then indicate the table you need and then copy paste the finalized selector here as a string

cheers

@Jasmin_Bar Please try below steps:

1. Click Indicate in App again and make sure you select the table/grid area, not the full screen
2. Open UI Explorer and check if you can find a more specific element like:
   GuiGridView
   table
3. Update the selector to include more attributes (like role, name, or control type) to make it unique
   (If you share a screenshot of the table structure (UI Explorer), I can help you build a better selector)

Hi @Jasmin_Bar,

You can re-indicate using “Option Menu”.

If you’re still not getting the expected result, use UI Explorer (from the Ribbon panel) to build a more reliable selector.

For other activities, you will get Ui Explorer option while indicating or fine-tuning the selector.

Thanks

After clicking on Edit Selector, I am still not able to get the UiExplorer and also not able to modify selector. All these options are available in previous modern activities but now it’s not available.

Their is no option to open UiExplorer.

Hi @Jasmin_Bar,

You need to open UI Explorer from the Ribbon panel.

Then you can fine-tune your selector. After that, copy the selector and paste it into the Extract Table Data activity.

For other activities, the UI Explorer option is appearing while indicating UI elements. Seems issue only with Table Extraction activity.

Thanks!

Opening the UiExplorer from the top it shows blank.
