Hi everyone!

The above screenshot shows a window within an application. I have been trying to indicate the text field in this window so that I can type into it. For some reason, UiPath is not able to identify it. It does not even show me options for a strict or fuzzy selector. I do not want to use computer vision as it is not robust (this is a production level workflow that will be used for business purpose). How do I go about enabling UiPath to recognize this text field and not get confused with the others.

I am also facing similar issues with selecting the datatable elements in the bottom half of the screen (marked in purple in the screenshot).

Any help with respect to this will be much appreciated. Thanks!

When you try to explore the selector of text box using ui explorer from studio, are you able to get the selector?

If yes, you can use classic type into activity and use that selector in it.

Or just confirm the one shown above and then from studio, go to properties of the activity and there enable the strict selector and also add the selector(the one you fetched using ui explorer) in there under strict.

I opened UIExplorer and hovered over the text field specifically. Below (refer to the snapshot) was the only region that was getting higlighted. The text field on its own was not getting highlighted when using UIExplorer.

I tried using the Classic ‘Type Into’ activity too and it does not detect the text field.

What other ways could I go about this?

That is why when you are trying via modern activity, only cv is getting picked as these elements are not getting detected otherwise.

you will have to use CV in this case if you are not able to identify that text box on its own.

For CV, either go with Cv specific activities or modern type into which you already tried, that is a good option.
