Hello, hope you are doing well.

Variable value passing is not working is UI Elements (XPath).

When I'm passing the variable and gives the value like "1" to variable, it's not working. See Attached

And when I gives the hardcoded value like "1" then it's wokring. See Attached.

Can anyone help me in this regards, as I'm pretty sure that this is the PAD bug....

Looking forward..

Regards,

    Try enabling the Text editor (top right corner) for the selector. Assigning a variable doesn't work in the tree view.
