Unable to click a button on a screen

Good day,

I have two subflows inside of a main flow. There is a specific button press that both subflows use. The button is a hyperlink in a side nave bar.

In subflow A this button press works perfectly, however in subflow B the button press does not work. Both subflows come from the same page to press this button.

The flow is run on Chrome on a windows VM. The flow is triggered from a cloud flow. I have attached the error message from the cloud flow.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Not sure why it works in one but not the other. Weird. However, what I typically do with hyperlinks, is build a dynamic url for the button and use the action go to web page or click on link on webpage, or click on UI element.

Hi @trice602

Thank you for your response,

This is a good idea but unfortunately due to the way the system works it wont work. For some reason each of the section tabs in the side nav bar have the same URL (This is an internal system)
