Dear Team,

We are in process of migration BP 6.10.5 to 7.5 enterprise version and i am facing very weird issue.

when we have href attribute with javascript value in it then Click action is not working using browser mode, in previous version it use to work perfectly fine.

i attached HTML snippet and error message. any guidance here , why browser mode is not working ? to fix this for now i am using UI mode and its works fine, however want to know whether this is a BUG or something i am missing here.

The error tells you the Blue Prism Support article that explains this issue: https://support.blueprism.com/en/support/solutions/articles/7000078851

The article explains that in Manifest V3 extensions, they can't perform a browser mode click on a link that has JavaScript in the href attribute. There are three options mentioned for handling this. The first one is to use a UIA Press action. This is probably the option you'll want to do. The second is more complicated but involves reading the href and inserting that JavaScript somewhere else and then triggering that so the same result will happen.

As far as I know, there's nothing anyone can do about that. It's a forced limitation by Google and later to be forced by Microsoft. Any other RPA tool would have the same limitation. Most likely those tools are using a UIA press as well by default.
