Fitnesse - 18.1.4 - Populate picker field in section

Hi Sara Rodríguez,

The above script which you mentioned in the description of the Post will not work if the section where you are trying to enter the value is collapsed.

So first verify the section is not collapsed. If it is collapsed, Please use the below script to enter the value to the picker.
| toggle section | SECTION_NAME | visibility |
| populate field | FIELD_LABEL OR [FIELD_INDEX] | in section | SECTION_NAME | with | VALUE(S) |

If the section is not collapsed, you can directly use the below script.
| populate field | FIELD_LABEL OR [FIELD_INDEX] | in section | SECTION_NAME | with | VALUE(S) |

Also, "Click on link" script will only work for the links. We cannot click section label's by using "Click on link" script.

Hello prakruthim ,

First of all, thanks for your time.

"Clink on link" does work, although it's more correct using "toggle senction".
No matter what, the picker field can't be populated the way you suggest.
The only solution I found was filling in the field searching by its index, which was quite hard to find.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Sara, not sure if you already found the answer to this but I ran into the same issue and found the solution. My picker field was a date, and held the placeholder "mm/dd/yyyy". I had to use |populate field| mm/dd/yyyy|with|07/17/2000| and it worked.
