Hi All,
We have currently deployed one RPA PAD flow (doing data entry in portal) which gets triggered from cloud flow on scheduled manner and runs on VDI machine in unattended mode. Our flow was running fine for the initial runs then we started getting the below error.
Problem while executing action 'PopulateTextFieldUsePhysicalKeyboard'. Failed to write text in form field. 
How to resolve this issue. As this a very critical issue. We tried using focus windows focus field before coming to populating part. But nothing works as of now. UI element is also unchanged and there were no flow changes made. Earlier this was working fine. But after 14 of this month it started failing continuously with the same error. 
Please help me with this issue . Your help will me much more appreciated. If more info is required i will be providing that too.
Thanks
