I am using ServiceNow Zurich RPA Desktop Design Studio with Universal App Connector and Microsoft Edge.
My automation successfully reaches a page containing a large multiline text body. My goal is to extract the entire visible text into one String variable so I can parse the values.
What I tried:
- Captured the full text area using Windows UIA.
- Element type is detected as Group.
- No GetText method is available.
- Captured it using Active Accessibility.
- Element type is detected as Grouping.
- GetValue returns an empty String.
- Captured smaller individual text lines.
- GetValue still returns empty.
- Installed and enabled the ServiceNow RPA Edge Extension in the exact Edge profile used by the bot.
- UAC Edge mode still does not detect any open Edge windows.
The text is static webpage content, not an editable field.
Is there a supported ServiceNow RPA method to retrieve the full visible page or element text into a String?
If Edge DOM detection cannot be made to work, is the recommended fallback:
I am trying to avoid OCR and capturing every line individually.
Thanks
