Select Radio Button on web page - error after a week

Hi all,

I have made a flow to form field a microsoft forms form. It has a number of radio buttons which I have set to check. The flow works fine for a week after selecting the UI element at which point it will break and I will need to readd all of the UI elements for each radio button and it will work again for about another week. I have looked further and the name:

Radio button with selector 'div[Id="form-container"] > div[Class="form-content"] > div[Class="form-content-container "] > div[Class="office-form-content office-form-page-padding"] > div > div[Class="office-form office-form-theme-shadow"] > div[Class="office-form-body"] > div[Class="office-form-question-body"] > div[Class="__question__ office-form-question "]:eq(1) > div[Class="office-form-question-content"] > div[Class="office-form-question-element"] > div > div[Class="office-form-question-choice"]:eq(8) > div[Class="radio"] > label[Class="office-form-question-choice-row office-form-question-choice-text-row "] > input[Name="r4cd87ebbd98d42349b752b9556691ba3"]' not found.

Seems to be the same to me when inspecting the source so I am not sure what I am doing wrong if anyone has any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,
What about these? Are they the same each time you capture the UI element?
Perhaps you have a unfolding questions that appear when you select some answer to prior ones, then the table would shift?
If not that, did you take a look at the window selector, perhaps something changes there, such as title or other element?

Hi,

Looks like it was the eq(8) that was the issue as this changes each time. Working on a solution not to change eq(8) to eq(%variable%) to make it dynamic.

Thanks!

Glad you got the cause.
As for the solution - maybe you can work on selector to get rid most if not all elements except input name?
If this name is constant, it could be just enough to keep it there?

This sounds sensible thank you. Will need a few weeks to test and see if it breaks over time 🙂
