How many ways can we read data from chrome apart match index

[sirisha1994]

UI and AA mode only working for my chrome browser, browser mode not supported for my BP version6.3

i want to read data from particular fields which is dynamic values every time in one page,

and other page i need to go to `combo box and select the read item from list. after that i need to go to other page and need to verify the read data as same in combo box. here i am using match index for all 3 pages. but when other extra data visible it is reading other columns. how i can get exact spied items data from chrome. pls can anyone help on this.

Hi @SirishaSiri 

It would be helpful if you add screenshot of the app modeller elements you have selected and if posible the screenshot of web page ( only if it is shareable)

Regardless  based on the description you have  provided. My assumption is  it was selected some dynamic attributes along with Match index(Some thing like Path or HTML attribute since its not  workin in browser mode I assume it might be same UIA NAme or control type is the same) that might be the reason while you navigate from one page to another page it is selecting the different element.

My suggestion is try to identify unique element associated with the field you are intended to spy .
Couple of things, I would  generally used :
in UIA mode( I will play around below attribute selection along with match index based on which Attribute works consistently and potential to identify the spied element even the position of the element change from one spot to another)
UIA Name, UIA Item type, UIA control Type,  UIA Automation ID, Parent UIA name

If you are unable to find the drop down other way I will  verify by anchoring the dropdown with Field Label
Lets say the username Field has Label and Value(WHere you provide  username ) in the login page of most of the websites. You can use UserName label as anchor to identify the value . Like spy the label and Get all the attributes and identify how you can connect the label to value, Again its hard to pin point  specific suggestion with out playing around the website.
