Enter Text

This action enters a text in a found tag, which must be either a text field, a text area, a password field, a file field, a hidden field, or a tag whose content is editable.

To enter a fixed password in a password field, consider using the Enter Password action instead in order to prevent the password from being visible to the user in Design Studio and in saved robot files.

Note that entering the text may trigger execution of JavaScript if there are any registered event handlers on the field or tag.
