Dynamic web address attribute

[MackenzieDecarn]

Hi everyone im quite new to using BP and am trying to make a bot to log in to my gmail

I keep getting this error when navigating to the password page 

No element matched query items

I know its because the Password element has a web address attribute that changes the last 10 characters everytime it launches but I dont know how to use Regex/dynamic attribute to solve it

Hi Mackenzie,

Have you tried just using the attributes: 'Match Index', 'Web Element Type' and 'Web Name'

Couple of Quick Notes:

- Always ensure you do not select blank attributes in your element's attribute list.
- Try to avoid using attribute which can really change dynamically. With regular expressions and wildcards there are only a a number of scenarios which you would be able to handle. If there is no need of using such attributes, best approach would be to avoid them altogether.
- Use of Match Index attributes always help whenever similar type of elements can occur in your automation.

Also when I use a navigate option to click the 'Next' button, it worked a few times but suddenly seems to be crashing even though the application modeler still recognizes the element, do you know why this is? 

I browsed for similar issues and was told to use this setting 'Use fixed browser extension port (31924) only' but I cant seem to find it on BluePrism 7.1

Hello Mackenzie- Please can you share the attribute selection for Next Button.

also, Fixed port option/feature has been removed in BP version 7 and above. Native messaging host is new way to dynamically allocate port to you browser.
