Trouble with Automated Test Editing Input Field Value

[Jamie]

Hi there,

I’m trying to change a number in a test on a website. It should update to a new number, but it keeps using the old one. I can’t show pictures because of security rules.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Clicking the 'Delete' key on my keyboard was creating a test step that said - "Enter Text 'Delete' in 'ParentSignatureText'".

I was presented with 2 ways to solve this:

1. Create a Manual Step and perform the required manipulation.
2. Use a similar solution to what is presented here:  https://www.telerik.com/forums/best-way-to-clear-htmlinputtext

Hope this helps.

Hello Jamie,

Let me step into this conversation and share some additional details. 

It will be essential to know the type of step recorded for the action that enters the number. Is this an 'Enter text' step? 

If yes, that step always clears the existing text before typing the new one. So, if you have troubles with that step, I will recommend you to take the time to enhance the test with suitable and sufficient wait and verify steps. The execution delays are also an option. You can check this blog post which describes some scenarios how to use that kind of steps. 

Let us know if you need any additional assistance.

Regards,
Elena
