Fill multiline form with repeating HTML structure without unique identifier

Posted on by StevetheBeef

I have a web from that i need to be filled automatically.

Within the form, i need to add some Filenames and URL´s into a Table. In the HTML code you can see that the fields have the same recurring names.

I need to fill in multiple lines with different values. However, PAD is always filling the first line, replacing the previous text when using a for each loop. I could maybe use the Key Input in Combiation with TAB, but i hope that there is an more elegant way.

I was expecting that more users do have issues with such forms, but could not find anything in the search.

Does anyone have an idea how I could solve this?

Hi @StevetheBeef

As you are using For Each loop, you'll need to:
Use a variable for index control
Change the selector to a dynamic one
Step 1: create the variable and increase it each loop
Step 2: change the selector by manually editing it. In my example, I used the following since I do not have different rows
In your case, I see that each input element lies in a different row, thus your selector should be something like this:
tr:eq(%i%) > td[class="file_name"] > input[type="text"]
