SAPEdit Object
Description
An SAP Gui for HTML application edit box, including single-line edit boxes and multi-line edit boxes (text area).
IMPORTANT
While recording some SAPEdit objects, if you enter a value and immediately press the Enter key, a Set step is added to the test without the required Submit step. This may cause the test run to fail.
Workarounds:
- While recording, wait a few seconds after entering a value and before pressing the Enter key.
- While recording, click anywhere on the screen between entering the value and pressing the Enter key.
- Manually add the required Submit step to your test.
