Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello guys, 

 

I am currently work as RPA Developer and recently migrate from other platform to Power Automate. I found a problem when capture Ui Element with element picker even I have install the web browser extension. 

Screenshot while capturing element (actually there is a red bound in the targeted element but the screenshot didn't capture it)Screenshot while capturing element (actually there is a red bound in the targeted element but the screenshot didn't capture it)

Actually from the first screenshot there is a bound in the targeted element when I hover the element, but the screenshot didn't capture it. And the second screenshot is a proof that I have install the correct web browser extension.

 

I can't pick the element like in the first screenshot even tough I have followed the instruction (Ctrl + Left Click) but the Element Picker Window still empty. Anyone know how to fix this issue? or any alternative to target a webpage element like using XPath or CSS?

    Hello, is this persistent with all elements in the web page or just this pop up in the screenshot?  Can you try using the automation recorder to see if it is able to pick up the elements this way as you click through your process?
