I have a process that works as expected with the exception of 1 UI element. I have tried to modify the element manually but every time it seems to work on the first pass but on the second its not able to find the path specified. I assume it has something to do with the class of the input being 'form-control' and no other identifier I am able to pass to the PAD UI element selector. But have tried everything in my limited knowledge of PAD so looking for any guidance at this point.

Re: Failed to get UI element during loop

That's why it's failing. Try using the Press button in web page instead and capture a new element. Also, replace your Populate text field in window action with a Populate text field in web page action. Web automation should be done using the Browser group of actions.

Re: Failed to get UI element during loop

What action are you using on this UI element? It is clearly a web element, but the selector looks a lot, like it has been captured with one of the local app UI actions, and not a web UI action.
Make sure you are using an appropriate action on it, that is under the Browser group of actions.
