Filling Appian Form Fields with a bot

For anyone who might come across the same problem, there is a solution from a different post which I would like to highlight as a solution here as well.

• If you are using chrome browser, please enable Emulate a focused page under Rendering in Developer Tools. Check how to do this here
• Once this is done, any hidden tag and its associated XPATH can be identified. we can use this XPATH and configure it as click on element

However, this doesn't help us choose a value dynamically unless we know the order of the element in the dropdown list and generate XPATH dynamically. In my use case, I have the value coming from Excel and I need to click based on visible text. If there is a better solution, please suggest the same.

Thanks,
Arjun.

Hi Arjun,

For elements having dynamic xpaths, you can try XPATH inbuilt functions some of are below:

Following
Ancestor
Child
Preceding
Following-sibling
Parent
Self
Descendant
