Populating text field in Window not working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi! 
I am trying to populate fields in a desktop application from a data table. Using the Populate fields In window function, I’ve selected a specific UI element in the application but it doesn’t alway populate the right field. Sometimes it populates the field next to it, sometimes it says it can’t find the field.

Any ideas on how to make this more reliable? Thanks you!

    It may be the selector issue...you need to uncheck some fields of the selector and test .. either make it dynamic ..

    @Bopper817 , 

     

    I think the custom selector might be dynamic, if you provide selectors I can check and provide solution on it.
