Need Help Automating Date Selection in Global Event Control Server Website

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 11

I'm currently working on automating our Global Event Control Server website by constructing a PAD flow to schedule jobs and submit batches automatically. Most of the selections are functioning as expected, but I'm encountering an issue with the date picker component.

Every time I attempt to interact with the date picker on the webpage, it seems to append the current date to the button label. For example, if today is March 18, 2024, the button might be labeled "button 03/18/2024". This causes the flow to become static rather than dynamic. Consequently, when I schedule the flow for the next day, it fails to locate the button with the appended date.

I've tried clearing the text window and entering the date manually, but unfortunately, this approach doesn't work either.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or recommendations on how to overcome this challenge. I've attached a screenshot of the date picker window for reference.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely, Pranav Sankaran

    Hi @nottonystark ,

     

    According to my understanding I have created a flow. Please find the attached screenshot.

    You need to make few changes in the selector. You can find those changes in image 2.
