adding page event to start searching for fields to update

Open github-rashelbach opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

some pages react to click event to open modular form| this can be done by the user at any time not related to the page load

adding an option to identify the click event as part of the auto-fill configuration will help catch the new HTML part and update it as expected

I hope I made it clear

Have you tried manual mode https://getautoclicker.com/docs/4.x/config-settings/start/

Manual mode is a workaround. But the user expectations are for automation.

Hence the request to add trigger. And having the context menu option as back up

To understand clearly you have set of actions which are automated but there is step in between which you like to perform manually and rest of steps should wait until this action is performed .

Not exactly,

I'll try to elaborate:

I use JIRA and I would like to automate particular form.

The problem,

This form is open as modular window by clicking on certain button.

The addon doesn't recognize the fields in this window automaticly. Hence, it doesn't fill them. (Note - Manual mode work as expected)

Suggested solution:

Adding event watching to catch the click on the button, as part of second rule to trigger the first rule upon form opening

I hope I made myself clear

By default add-on find element on webpage and if it don't find it retry for 5 times with 1 sec interval and if it don't find even it stops the extension.

If you want the add-on to keep retrying to find the element even after 5 sec. You can set this under action settings to retry more than 5 times also increase / decrease the interval . If you want the extension to keep retrying you can set retry to -2
