Replacement UI's no longer saving?

Posted on by GJH

I have a PAD with 5 subflows and 115 Actions. Now when I want to change steps in a subflow the UI selection process appears to operate as normal but the newly selected UI doesn't save in the Action. The original UI isn't replaced.

Any ideas?

Hi @garthh
it will not replace the UI element automatically
after indicating and selecting UI element
we need to select in the UI element list in the activity like I have shown in the image

Hope this helps

You either need to modify the existing element that you have captured, or if you capture a new element, you need to select it in the action that should target it.

See here on how to modify existing selectors (which also allows recapturing it):
