Hi Everyone,
 
Recently I'm facing an issue in power automate desktop with the "Populate text field" action. Using this action, the string is not getting pasted full (i.e, if the name to be populated is "Automation" it's pasting it as "Autom". Could anyone let me know how to rectify this issue?
 
Thanks.

    Is it populate text field on web page or on window? If on web page try toggle on/off "Populate text using physical keystrokes". If its window try to toggle on/off "Simulate action".

    Also try to populate that text manually. Maybe the text field has limit of 5 characters and that’s why it gets cut off.

    If those don't work make sure the value you are populating is actually the full text you want to populate.

    If the issue persists show some screenshots of your flow and the variable values.
