I am new to RPA Express (Workfusion) and I can't figure out how to set a checkbox to true using Web Element - set by xpath. What needs to be pun into a variable to set a checkbox to CHECKED status?

I can't use Click Mouse function as it would toggle the status while my goal is to ensure that a checkbox is set to TRUE always.

You can do the following:

  1. Use the Web Element

    • get mode
    • tick Use element attribute
    • type checked
    • select a variable for Output

  2. If the Output variable is true -> do nothing

  3. If the Output variable is false -> click the checkbox

  • Hi, Thanks. This is a work-around that complicates the code somewhat (need for additional IF). I am pretty sure there must be some direct way – Feliks Aug 28 '18 at 12:37

    Besides if chechbox is not checked an error is thrown:PlaybackException: Error executing TemplateAction[templateName=WebElementAction.ftl,id=65,name=Optional[WebElementAction],parent=-8,nextSibling=66,arguments=ActionArguments[varName=[set_value],elementAttribute=[checked],exactMatch=[true],xsi:type=[recorder:WebElementAction, recorder:WebElementAction],pollingInterval=[300],active=[true],searchInFrames=[false],delay=[0],useElementAttribute=[true],webElementLocatorType=[XPATH],actionDetails=[(get by //*[@id="cRefCompany"] xpath)],webElementLocator=[//*[@id="cRefCompany"]],awaitTimeout=[5000]]] – Feliks Aug 28 '18 at 12:50
