Cannot Edit the Web Selectors even after choosing "Edit"

I see the Select and Choose Edit. I can get to the Text but It is locked. I can't replace or delete. I cannot edit the Selector. Also, I don't see a "Custom" or "Visual Editor" like the videos. I can select but I can't change.

    Hi @sonisick 

     

    Seems like a strange issue with Power Automate Desktop

     

    Have you tried restarting Power Automate Desktop ?

    I've stopped and restarted this many times. Also, I've deleted and rerecorded many times. I've never been able to edit the whole expression. I've noticed that I can edit an individual step--but that doesn't help. I want to get the selector a different way. The thing is dynamic and different IDs get set on each run.

     

    Do you know if I can delete the step, put in some kind of pause, click on the one thing that is causing me problems, and then continue the flow? I might try that in debug mode.

     

    Thanks for answering.

    I did not get what you meant by this ?

    Thanks. I think the Interface has changed from the videos I've been watching.

    I finally figured that when you click on the UI icon and choose to edit a Select, there is now a toggle on Text Editor. If you're on the "Text editor" side, you have massive trees you can edit individually, as you pointed out--but not the overall expression. If you want to change the whole CSS completely, you toggle to the other side and replace the entire expression.

    Note: if you come back, you can't toggle to Text Editor without losing the CSS you put in. The interface is NOT intuitive--It took me several days to figure out.
