Adding UI Elements Help

Hi, 

 

I need some help in PAD Flow. 

I am trying to direct to a folder on my OneDrive to select an excel file to upload to Xero but it keeps failing to read the element which I am selecting which is the 'Finance' Folder. 

I also tried pasting the path in the top left but it is not working when I try to search/click the arrow icon on the right. 

 

I do have a solution using the 'send mouse click' but I think this will fail when new folders are added as the coordinates will move? 

 

Does anyone have any ideas on other approaches I could use? 

 

I have attached an image of the OneDrive folder below:

    One thing to add here, when I takeaway the log in action (as if it would just have to be a requirement that the user is logged into Xero before the flow is ran), it can pick up all of the UI elements which is even stranger?

    Yes 

     

    It would be recommended approach instead of selecting file/folder.

     

    Just make the flow to type the file/folder path in highlighted field and it will be able to upload that file/folder.
