PowerAutomate Desktop Web Form Issues

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I have a web form to create new users. The form has 3 fields (First Name, Last Name and Email) that should be populated from 3 columns from an excel file.
I use Power Automate with a loop on the rows of the excel to create as many users as needed.
This works well until, for some rows, the second column value overrides the value of the first field of the form instead of writing it in the 2nd field. Same happens sometime with the third column value overriding the value of the 2nd field of the form instead of writing it in the 3rd field. The last name or e-mail address is suddenly displayed in the wrong web field. The first name is replaced by the last name, or the last name by the e-mail address.
I cannot find any pattern explaining why.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Check the selectors for the elements you captured for the fields, and see if they have distinct Ids or something like that. See here for reference on how to modify selectors (so you know how to find them): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors

     

    Also, inspect the elements in the web form via the browser developer tools (right click > inspect) to see if their selectors are static with each session (does not change upon refreshing the form or opening it in a new browser instance).
