Populate text into webpage keeps enter values into website address bar instead of the assigned field inside the webpage.

===[UPDATE] I have found a solution: disable the Physical keystrokes as attached image.

 

Hello, please help with the issue, i have tried to search for solution for multiple days but couldn't make the activity work.

Thank you very much.

 

Flow Description:

 

Create data table

launch browser chrome (url: youtube for example)

for each row in data table

=Start loop

click link on web page to create a new category (then a new url will be created with a new ID, for example, youtube/edit/123)

Inside that newly created URL  (youtube/edit/123)

populate text onto webpage with currentitem of datable into the Name field (for example: enter "John" into the Name field)

-> The issue occurs here, instead of populating "John" to the Name field, it populates the value onto the address bar, => leading the current webpage to a different webpage. => This breaks the flow because the automated tool cannot find ui elements in the new webpage.

(I have tried to record the actions, but did not work) 

click link on web page (Save button)

=End loop

    Hi @Tran1595 

     

    As you are saying that when you click a link on a webpage, so it will create a new link that you need to copy

    If this is the case then once you click on the link, try to click on Address bar and pass the send keys Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, so first control will select entire url in Address bar and the second will copy the url
