Select dynamic radio buttons

Hi,

I have an issue with PAD to select Radio Buttons with dynamic names, see below the HTML code.

Example the field "document_viewDetail_docId" is dynamic, so on each refresh there's a new docId number.

The only field that is static, is the "doc_filename" field, however this field is enclosed in a different <TD> tag.

Is there a way that I can refer to the "doc_filename" when selecting the radio button ?

<table class="resultTable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="ListTitle" style=""></th><th class="ListTitle" style="">Name Document</th></tr></thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="ListLine1">
<td>
<input type="radio" name="docId" id="document_viewDetail_docId1234" checked="checked" value="1234"><label for="document_viewDetail_docId1234">1234</label>

</td>
<td>
<div class="doc_filename">File1.pdf</div>
</td>
</tr><tr class="ListLine2">
<td>
<input type="radio" name="docId" id="document_viewDetail_docId4567" value="4567"><label for="document_viewDetail_docId4567">4567</label>

</td>
<td>
<div class="doc_filename">File2.pdf</div>
</td>

Do you want to select a specific radio button in the table, or select all of them? If it's a specific one, what do you want to base the selection on?

Hi, I want to select the radio buttons one by one.
As in fact there's a piece of code missing, by selecting the radio button you can download the related pdf file (there's a download button at the end of the page).

Try capturing the radio button as an element. Then modify the selector. Remove the Id parameter and instead enable the type parameter, so it targets an element with type "radio".

Also enable some parent elements and provide an ordinal value (index) to the <tr> element. This way you can build a loop with a %LoopIndex% and pass that as a variable to the selector, so you can process it one row at a time.

See here on how to modify selectors and use variables in selectors: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors
