Set Element Value

Description

Sets the 'value' attribute of the specified element in the browser opened via Studio Pro.

Browser tabs

This activity allows you to select the desired browser elements using the "Browser picker".

The tab selection parameter offers two options: specify the tab number manually or use the "Use tab number by order" checkbox.

Specifying the tab number manually allows you to designate the selected tab independently from the other tabs. That is, if tab "2" is selected in the option and other tabs are actually opened in the browser before it (i.e. the tab becomes, for example, the third one), the activity will be executed in this tab anyway.

The "Use tab number by order" checkbox denotes the tab strictly by the order of the actually opened tabs in the browser. That is, in a similar case (when the desired tab is actually the third), the Browser Picker will work exactly with the second tab of the browser.
