Automating Edge browser only fills some textfields on second instance

Hi there
 
Experiencing a weird problem (to me atleast).
 
I have an automation set to open edge browser and fill in some fields.
 
When I run the automation it works! Filling all the field as it is supposed to.
 
When I run it again (with the previous edge window still op) the automation only fills some of the fields - the first "group" - but leaves the rest empty.
 
If I close the first edge window and run the automation againg - it works!
 
Any ideas to what I might check on the automation to make it work even if another windows is running i edge with same url?
 
Kind regards
Thomas

    Hi Thomas,
     

    Have you included the "Close Browser" action in your PAD flow after filling the textbox? This will ensure that it doesn’t interact with the old browser window again.

    To assist you further, please attach screenshots of your PAD code and the browser UI (make sure to hide any sensitive information). This will allow us to provide more precise guidance.

     

    Thanks,
