Set Element Text | Leapwork Docs

The Set Element Text block is used to enter values into editable fields within a Salesforce application. It supports standard input types like text fields, password fields, and grid cells in List or Table views. This block is automatically generated by the Salesforce Fusion Recorder when the user types into a form field during recording.

Note: This block only works in browser windows launched using the Salesforce Login block or during an active Salesforce recording session.

It allows both static and dynamic input and includes the option to press Enter after input is completed. You can also use it to populate fields inside tables or editable grids, enabling robust data-entry automation in Salesforce UI.

Fully expanded, the Salesforce Set Element Text block shows the following properties:
