Hi everyone! I'm starting to work with desktop flow but i have a problem with this case: i have this actions

1.Run application

2.Extract data from window

I need dynamic window here (where the black arrow points ), I would like a parameter other than 'AppProcessId' and 'AppExitCode' to be taken following my 'run application',which allows me to subsequently perform the action 'extract data from window'

Can you please help me?

Have a great day

Double click your UI element and edit the selector.

You can use variables in the selector.

Are you saying that you can't just add the UI Element you need from the application and use that in the secondary step due to it not working when you run the flow? If so, and your selector for that element in the app is overly complex you likely can simplify it without having to necessarily use a dynamic variable (i.e. use a 'starts with' query and/or eliminate unnecessary attributes on it) Let me know if I'm not understanding but in a very basic example, you'd have your 'Run application' step and you'd have already added a UI Element for whatever you want to capture in that app, and you'd use that in your 'Extract data from window' step.

Cheers,
Matt
