RPA for Automated Testing - Clear Value Not Removing Previous Text During Edit Test - Just Adding New Text After Original Text - Appian 24.1 version

If Clear value is not working, Then one way could be by using keyboard shortcuts(Like control A + delete key) to remove the previous text and then update the new data 

Great idea - any ideas on how to select the text first to then apply the Control+Alt+Delete shortcut.  I have added another shortcut to select the text (Control+Shift+Left) which highlights it,  but since it isn't daisy chained into the next step (Control+Alt+Delete) it isn't removing the text.

Hi betted0001, use click on element while using interact with element action and then use keyboard shortcuts ctrl+A and delete actions 

You can also use Click cursor action by giving the coordinates of that text box and then apply the keyboard shortcuts, but I think above solution is better

I forgot to mention I was working in Firefox. In Firefox ctrl+A opened the Manage Your Plug In page so I switched to Chrome and when I did the update value option worked without shortcuts by removing the original value and replacing it.

In Firefox I had tried ctrl+A before ctrl+alt+left and it didn't work.  Only by using ctrl+alt+left did the background turn dark blue indicating selection. Of course I might have done something wrong but both methods didn't work in Firefox for me.

I am going to report possible bugs for Firefox for update vale not clearing original data and clear value not working.

I was also going to try using coordinates - not with click but with mouse drag option but didn't know how to get the coordinates.  This morning I was exploring and learned when you right click on the robot "A" in the host you have an element inspector option which provides lots of useful information including coordinates including when you perform actions like selecting text.  I am switching to Chrome for my test but am noting this here since it is useful information others may not know and would find useful.
