Posted on by MohammadFayez 15

Hello all,

I'm facing an error when I'm trying to fill web text field from a variable and I got the below error:

Parameter 'Text': Argument 'Text' must be 'Encrypted value'.

Also, I'm the suggestion solution from the same question that already posted here by some guys without luck.

Regards.

    That usually happens if the format of your Excel source doesn't match the expected format of the form field. For example if you are entering a text into a number field.

    The excel sheet format is text with 1 column and the filed also text filed, btw if I pass the value as the static variable it will work correctly but the issue in the variable passing

    Did you try the different options for focus and typing? As an alternative you can focus the field and send keys

    Try to remove whitespaces before you send/enter the text with https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/actions-reference/text#trim

    Works fine for me if %TrimmedText% is entered. Seems like that the variable with data row type is not compatible with the input text type. So you need to convert a data row value to a text value first, which trim does.

    @fraenK Thank you, the issue has been resolved after converting the data row value to a text value and applying the trim text
