We are currently using Appian 24.1 version. I am testing out RPA as an option for automated testing and when I use the Interact with Element the Clear Value option is not working. Any suggestions?  I want to remove the original text with entirely new data and not just add to it when using the Update Value option.

    If Clear value is not working, Then one way could first click on element and then use 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.
