UI Automation Activities with a Changing Window Name

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

I am in the process of building a flow in PAD using UI Automation activities to fill out an invoice on an application. This automation will need to be completely unattended. 

 

The issue I am facing is that when the automation clicks to create a new entry window, there is a counter to give the entry an ID in the window title. Because of this, the populate text field in window activity will not work due to the different UI element name from when I developed the automation. The ID is a random number so I cannot just use a counter + 1. 

 

Does anyone have a potential solution? Thanks!
