Get Selected Items Text showing Data Type as Collection

[jamie.mcpake]

I have a process in Live which currently has the Action 'Get Selected Items Text' and it stores it as Data Type Text into a data item. But I am currently in the process of converting this from IE to Chrome and when I update that section the data type has changed to collection.

Is there any reason why this has happened? Or have I missed something here?

Is one singular and the other plural, ie Get Selected (One) Item Text and Get Selected (Many) Items Text?

Thanks for the response John! 

I did some digging and I have found that it's actually a known 'downside' to converting the process from IE to Chrome/Edge/Firefox

Bruce Liu mentions it here https://github.com/blue-prism/ApplicationModellerConversion/blob/master/BROWSER.md ;

To resolve I re-spied in UIA Mode and used the action Get Current Value 🙂
