Hi @Rudhresh ,

You can do one thing , create a custom selector instead of making selector using UI element. Custom selector is working on my system.

I have added screenshot below for your reference. If still you are facing an issue pls let me know.

Hi @Rudhresh ,

Please Flow below steps for adding selector -
Step - 1
- First click on below image while creating selector using UI Element.

Step - 2
- add UI Element 3 times using above step.

Step - 3
- Edit Selector and rename it like this -
- Email
- Password
- Login
Step - 4
- Create Custom selector for each above rename selector. Ex-
-input[id="email"]
-input[id="password"]
-button[type="submit"]
If still facing issue pls let me know.

Thank you,

Thanks a lot for helping ‌‌🤗@Shoaib_PAD. Can you suggest to me any documents to learn the custom selector and may I know why the UI selector is not capturing?
