Help, I can't get my flow to recognize an input field. It's a date picker field. The flow works until it reaches the date input. I've spent hours trying to figure this out and could use some guidance as I'm new to working with power automate desktop.

Thanks in advance.

Can you show how that date element looks in the UI element selector?
Have you tried using Test functionality in UI Element selector? That can indicate which part of the element fails:

Try the repair also if you haven't yet.

Thanks, I tried it and it still doesn't work. I entered up putting in a display message to manually enter the date range. For now that's good enough as I have to move on. Thank you again for your help.

Hi @HPZ I hope you are doing well.

I see that you have enable the option Emulated Typing in the Populate Text Field Action, please disable this option, there are some fields (specially dates) that doesn’t allow to type the date but inject the value right away.

Please let me know if it works, happy automation!,
