HI all,

 

I'm just starting to learn Power Automate to help my organization with testing.

 

I am trying to populate a form with text which usually seems straight forward.

 

Unfortunately, there are identical forms on the page with the same name (see images)

 

Whenever I try to populate the second form (even with the accordion closed). The search field in the 'Full Access' tab is populated.

 

I have manually added the field etc and since they are named the same I assume that's the issue.

 

I even tried working around it by using move mouse to image but I get 'Image not found'.

 

Any tips? (sadly I don't have the ability to change the html / naming etc as it is a vendor provided website)

Element is listed like this:

 

<input id="searchBox" type="text" class="form-control ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-empty" placeholder="textboxtext" ng-model="searchTerm" csb-enter="filter.doFilteredSearch()">

 

Thank you

M

    Hi @MakeitAuto 

     

    If the text boxes have the exact same attributes then try ticking the ordinal attribute in the selectors and then increasing its value (play around with the values).

     

    If that doesnt work then click or place the focus on the 2nd Name box and then hit a TAB via sendkeys to go to the 2nd Search box.

    Which html code are you referring to @Henrik_M 

    I do not have webpage you are trying to access so cannot post that.

    Cheers, the tab option was going to be my original solution but I couldn't get them to work.

    Since I have changed to MS Edge key sends work so I will go with that solution... Thank you!
