PAD - Reliable way to edit file explorer toolbar / File path?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi All,

Hope someone can help.

I'm doing a PAD flow to download files online and then uploading them to an internal system, which brings up the file explorer to allow me to choose which files to download:

I have created a folder earlier in the flow where the files are stored and I'm trying to call on that location here to enter into the toolbar at the top of the file explorer (1), hit enter and then also use the variable names of the files I need to upload in the file select bar at the bottom (2). (If there's an easier way to do this let me know)

I cannot reliably find a way to edit the main search/tool bar at the top to paste in my folder path to locate my newly downloaded files, I have tried UI selecting element in window on the file Icon on the left, the down arrow on the right of the toolbar, and nothing reliably works, the flow always errors out at this point. I've even tried a "Send Left Click" action in the toolbar but if my file window ever changes size or the path gets too long, this will break the flow also.

Any input would be great.
