Legacy | Application.Element.Set

Command: application.element
Subcommand: set
Supported Platforms: Native (legacy), UFT (legacy), Selenium, Appium

All commands must be executed using the same framework. Sharing the execution ID between different frameworks is not possible. This means that if you work with a Selenium/Appium driver, you need to call the commands using the Selenium/Appium driver (or, in the case of Reporting commands, through the Reporting SDK that works with the driver) and not as part of a UFT test or another framework.
Supported OS: Android, iOS

Sets the text of a application element. Use the Text parameter to specify the text to set.

Description

Uses an element identifier (XPath or attribute value) to search for the element in the display of the active window and then enters the supplied text to the element. Uses either the Perfecto or Appium object tree framework.
