Use Browser (Chrome) - How to use "User Data Folder Path" Field to open a specific chrome profile?

[benben]

I tried entering different paths in that field, but they all result in the software starting a new profile instead of using the one specified

Hi @benben

It is the user data folder that the browser uses. Defaults to %LocalAppData%\UiPath\PIP Browser Profiles\BrowserType if not set.

You can find more info here:

Hope this helps,
Best Regards.

Thanks, however, I tried many paths that Chrome uses, but none of them work.

I am using UiPath Studio on my desktop to open the local Chrome.

For example, I tried the profile path from this page chrome://version/,

C:\Users{my user name}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

But it still opens a new profile instead of using the one specified

Is there any further documentation, or does anyone know the correct path to use for a specific chrome profile?
