You need to find out which function used by this website.

Some web site is designed to prevent malicious access or reduce the traffic so they will not accept some robot-like action.

Try using the send key event action to let the input box be activated.

Or after you write down something in input box, try using global mouse click on input box to activated that.

As mentioned by Chenglung, you may try using Global Send Keys instead of Write. If there is text already, first click using Global Mouse Click inside the text box. Send Ctrl A to select the text and then delete key. Now using send keys write the new text.

It sounds like the field has a client-side event handler that is listening for human input (keyboard). The Write stage does not use the keyboard and may not trigger the event handler, so the web page believes the field is still empty. Using a human-like input (keystroke or click) is usually the answer.
