Hello guys,

i am a very bad PAD user and i try to populate various fields in a website, but i have all time "UI element not found".

i have use "inspect function" from my chrome, but i can't find a value persistent ...

My problem seems to be my ID value ...

when i use "ADD UI" function, i have another ID

i have try to use data-testid="date", but it doesn't work ...

div[Id="kolclient"] > iframe[src="/kolfront/?v=CL2.2211.09.gm.c1406-202303211400#/sleeping?token=dHBlcGluOlszU3VtbFlNcUNlYWM1M2YwMGZiOTQxMGY2NDMzN2NjZmJmNzE1ZTU0YzpmYWxzZQ%3D%3D&lang=fr"] input[data-testid="date"]

or only

input[data-testid="date"]

Please can you help me to find the good field ?

It seems like the Id is dynamic and will likely change with a new browser instance. Using non-standard parameters will usually not work either. I would suggest simply using the ordinal value (which is an order index).
Also, I think you might want to adjust the selector of the <iframe> as well and remove the token part, because that could likely also be dynamic. Make the <iframe> src parameter start with whatever comes before the "token" part and remove the token from the selector.

Try using this for your selector:
div[Id="kolclient"] > iframe[src^="/kolfront/?v=CL2.2211.09.gm.c1406-202303211400#/sleeping"] td:eq(2) > wk-kol-date-input
Might make sense to include some more parents between the <iframe> and the <td>, but I can't really see them in the screenshots.

it's not good, for the moment i use this but i don't know if it's good or good for long time (i have src and token 😞 )

div[Id="kolclient"] > iframe[src="/kolfront/?v=CL2.2211.09.gm.c1406-202303211400#/sleeping?token=dHBlcGluOlszU3VtbFlNcUNlYWM1M2YwMGZiOTQxMGY2NDMzN2NjZmJmNzE1ZTU0YzpmYWxzZQ%3D%3D&lang=fr"] kendo-dateinput

Well, if it works, it might be good enough. It may be that I led you to the wrong <td> element or something. But you could also apply the same logic to this by removing the token like so:
div[Id="kolclient"] > iframe[src^="/kolfront/?v=CL2.2211.09.gm.c1406-202303211400#/sleeping?"] kendo-dateinput
