Hi @KoayTengJin

You can still edit your selector eventhough you used the recorder. So, basically recorder will select the available selector that can identify, In some cases we need to make selector more dynamic so that bot can identify the element without any issue

To edit your selector, right side you can below icon, click on that

UIElements will be displayed to you available in your flow, choose which uielement you are getting trouble and double click on that, so that you can see all the available selectors of that element. You need to choose right selectors according to your element. Eg: as below
