I have created a workflow with opening a browser and capturing login/password and click event on the login page.
When we run the BOT, we are getting error message from the system saying the fields are empty. Although the browser window the BOT opens is showing those fields as filled in.
When we do the same steps manually on the same login page, everything works as expected.
Any help/direction is greatly appreciated.

Sometimes the set text updates the screen and you can see the text but the characters don’t register in the control. The input text box doesn’t actually record the text, and so on a submit the input is seen as empty by the interface. A good workaround to try it adding a delay time between keystrokes. This simulates actual keystrokes so the interface registers the characters individually. I’ve found 40 milliseconds is a good delay, but you can test shorter times between keystrokes.
This is an example, of the bot executing faster than the UI at the field level.
