Hi,
I am having trouble with getting Power Automate Desktop to populate text field in window. The problem seems to only occur on our unattended bot server (windows server 2019). The steps of the flow is as below, and my problem is with step 4. The process outlined below, will have many iterations (+ 100 each run).
1. open/navigate to webpage using chrome browser
2. press CTRL+P (send keys)
3. in the window appearing (where you can select printer, ect.), I press "Save".
4. In the "Save as" window, I need to populate the text field where you enter the path and file name for the PDF you want to save.
Step 4 is for some reason very unstable and fails a lot. The strange thing here is that if the robot somehow can find the UI element on the first iteration, then it will have no problem during any later iterations of the run. However, every time we start the robot again, this step has a high risk of failing.
Things I have tried:
- Use screenshots to see the desktop of the server at time of failure (everything looks ok)
- Check if any of the UI element selectors are dynamic.
- Have more than 1 UI element selector available.
- Used both "Click on UI element" and "Focus text field in window" (with same outcome)
I get the feeling that Window elements opening as part of a webpage/Web element (i.e. go to webpage and press CTRL+P opens a window element) is somehow problematic for PAD, when running on Windows server (?). I say this, because for step 3 we were also unable to use "click UI element in window" when needed to press "Save".
Anyone else having problems with this, in a similar setup?
