Hi
The Set Text action in the recorder command is designed to set the contents of a control, replacing the previous content with the specified text. If you’re experiencing unexpected formatting when pasting the string, there are a couple of approaches you can try:
Simulate Keystrokes:
Check for Internal Delays:
Remember that the Set Text action will use the characters and strings you provide, including spaces and special characters. If your input string contains bullets or paragraph formatting, simulating keystrokes might be the best way to maintain the desired format.
+7The Set action in recorder will use the characters and strings you provide. It will include spaces and special characters if your Set text value includes them. For instance, if your bot has two variables”
sOne: ABU
sTwo: xyz
And the Set value is:
$sOne$ $sTwo$
the output will be:
ABU xyz (including the space
Does that help?

Use simulate keystrokes, ctrl+c then ctrl+v

Okay, so you’re capturing the text with bullets, but plain text doesn’t have a bullet character, or the control your pasting into doesn’t recognize the formatted text, so it’s going with the plain unformatted text. A “Get” doesn’t capture the format of the control. So using Simulate Keystrokes may work, since the desktop’s cut and paste information may include the formatting you want.
