The Bot unable to capture UI elements when running in aws workspaces

So we have workspaces to run the bot unattended, So I have strange problem that I’ve encountered that is new to me, the problem is  when I execute the bot in workspace it doesn't capture the ui elements in the website in workspace but in my actual device it works, I found a solution by restarting the workspace the bot is capturing the element well,  but then again after few runs or few hours the issue persists again.

Cell & Value formatting with Excel Advanced

Good afternoon!Problem 1:With the Excel advanced package, there doesn’t seem to be any option to format cells without Macros.As my organization is expected to disable all macros across the business due to security policy, this is not a suitable (or sustainable) workaround.I can see that we can get cell colour… but not set cell colour (or any other formatting options) without running a macro.Although this isn’t a huge issue, it does leave me with plain header cells when dynamically creating them, it effects the aesthetic of the resulting excel workbook.Problem 2:As the Set Cell function requires a string to be entered, this causes the value entered on the spreadsheet to always be text, even if that is a number. There is no option to convert the number stored as text to number, without simulating keystrokes (double clicking in each cell).This seems very strange as a lot of the time most of the data on Excel Workbooks are number values!The issue this causes is that the end product cannot

How do I create a DateTime variable with a default value of 10:00 AM for the time, and a a default value of [today] (i.e. today's date, whatever that happens to be on the day I wish to use the variable) for the date. The Edit Variable function will only allow me to set a default value for either BOTH the Date and the Time, or neither the Date and the Time. I want to set the default value for ONLY the Time four use on any day I use the variable. See attached.

Looking for suggestions on logging or Log to File error handling

Currently all of our bots write to log files in a central location on a file share server. These logs contain information about what steps a bot has performed and are used for troubleshooting. Sometimes bots fail after hours because the file share server is getting patched and the bot cannot access the log file. I don’t want an entire process to fail because the bot couldn’t write to the log. I could put each log to file action in a try catch, but it would be tedious to update existing bots and make the code very long. Fifty lines of code would become two hundred.We’ve considered other options, but they come with their own challenges:Log to database - same patching problem would occur Log to the local device - we currently have 14 bot running devices and it would be difficult to track down individual logs In Catch, check the box for “On error, continue with next action” - this would only work if each write to log action was in a try catch block. Otherwise if there is an application err

Browser Automation Seems Unable to Capture Elements in Modal

I am just curious if anyone has encountered this before. I am currently converting a bot from using standard Recorder actions to using the Browser Automation package. Everything works as expected with the exception of capturing data from a pop-up modal window.The screenshot shows the Recorder way of capturing the table in the dialog box. The bot then runs through each row in the table and, if it meets certain criteria, downloads the associated PDF. This method works well.With the Browser Automation package, however I cannot seem to capture any of the elements. I have attempted by the full XPath, the ID, and the CS Selector, but no joy. I can capture nothing in the dialog box, whether the full table (what I am after) or just the “3 documents sent.” text at the top; they all return null. As a test, in the console of the page I can do something like document.getElementById(<text ID>).textContent; and I get what I would expect. However doing the same in Browser Automation:Execute Jav
