We are trying to fill in a field in Power Automate Desktop, however when trying to capture the UI element it is not going at the field level but is kept on pane level even when trying to hover around the field to fill in it seems it is not being recognised

Field to fill in have a name and a Tooltip set up when creating the PDF Form.

Are you getting an error or forms is not being filled correctly? or please elaborate what are you trying to achieve here?

This looks by design. If not already tried, you may want to refer https://www.matthewdevaney.com/fill-pdf-form-fields-5x-faster-with-power-automate-desktop/.

I have saw your answer and for filling in fields this is working. However i have also some radio buttons i need to select in the form. For eg I have three radio buttons of the name Gender but with different Radio Button Choice: Male, Female and Other. I have tried using this approach but nothing happend

$PdfFields = @{ Gender = "Other" # Enable the Other radio button }

I have also tried adding this line but it gave an error:

$PDFFields.SetField("Gender", "Other")

Can you advise how i can select a grouped radio button ?
