    <description>Hi Team,

I am using a HTML application, wherein I need to fill up some data, but when I am trying to supply data using BP "WRITE" stage , it just overwrite the data which is not solving my purpose.

I want to click the field so that it erase the pre-filled data and input the desired value. Please see attached two screeshots Expected &amp;amp; Actual to understand the issue and suggest workaround.

Note : I know that we can use "NAVIGATE" stage to click first and then using "WRITE" stage my purpose will be solved, but I want to use only "WRITE" stage and solve the issue.

      <description>As seen in image, the text is been written in foreground not in backhand so for this&amp;nbsp;Spy the elements using AA mode and use focus or Global Mouse click to activate the text box and then try global send keys to write the text.</description>

      <description>Application UIs are built expecting a human user with a keyboard and sometimes you have to use global send keys and clicks to make BP act more humanlike. Once the cursor is in the field you can use a GSK such as {HOME}{DELETE 20} to erase any content before sending your input.</description>

      <description>Hello Team,
many thanks for your quick help, actually I was under impression that we could use ""WRITE"" stage itself to erase the content and then supply the actual data.
I have 15 similar fields, If I could supply GSK in the ""WRITE"" stage itself it would ease my jobs, else using 2-3 stages for each fields could lead to a lengthy process.
Hope it clarifies my question.
I have worked on other automation toll wherein I can enter GSK with the actual input itself or max by using the sage twice.(once for clearing and then entering desired data)</description>

      <description>I follow an different approach for such scenarios. I use ""CTRL+A"" after focusing that field. That way you don't need to worry about the length of string in that box. Sequence of steps that I follow.
1) Attach to window.
2) Activate it.(required&amp;nbsp;for send keys).
3) Focus the field you want to update.
3) Use ""^A^""(CTRL+A) for selecting pre-filled text.
4) Use write stage.
&amp;nbsp;
Hope that helps.</description>
