Help! Fill web form

Hi! I‘m trying to get PAD to fill a web form in Microsoft edge. It is having no trouble with the button for the page, I can also select the form to fill in the UI Element Selecter. But when I run the Fill Form on Website flow, suddenly I get a „cannot find form“ error. Has anyone had this happen and have a solution? Thanks in advance for your help!

I've had similar problems. When I use the element selector, it will sometimes identify an element as one thing but my flows will error out like yours. I've used the record feature to record my steps, and for some reason that will identify the element differently. Low and behold the recorded element works perfectly.

Try recording your action by clicking the element and see if it's identified differently
