Dynamic selector

[peterelbek]

Really struggling using a web automation action that clicks link / UI element in Edge.

Using the Inspect tool in Edge, the selector is:

body > div.spa-container > div:nth-child(6) > form > div > div.ms-nav-layout-content.thm-cont-g0-bgcolor-1 > nav > div > div > nav > div.navigation-bar-row-container--1bEQIeDuoWP7xAdsmp4MFs.home-action-container--2Ldy4iTiUBKOd3EbS4fRW6 > div > div.ms-nav-layout-content > div > div > div > div.ms-FocusZone.row-responsive--1x5-qMvE_ZVev_4FpmgaWk > div > div > div:nth-child(5) > div > button > div.caption--20PrttGVw_09n9_mM8YKgm > span > span

and the outerHTML is: 

<span aria-label="Salg">Salg</span>

In the UI Builder tool of PA Desktop I've tried 287 variations (mind you I'm no expert on the syntax) including this simple version:

span[aria-label="Salg"]

 Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong and steer me the right way? Thank you, much appreciated.

Can you CTRL+S and save the web page, then upload it somewhere for me to check? Send me a private message.

Hi @Henrik_M 

Just after realising that the source HTML includes a script:

<script id="boot" src="/365v22web/boot/browser/desktop?company=Standard&amp;tenant=365v2120181106094522&amp;aid=fin&amp;dc=0&amp;signInRedirected=1" type="text/javascript"></script>

No expert, but I suppose this script generates the output? As I mentioned in the forum I'm able to inspect the various UI elements, but maybe PAD can't access in the end because of this script?

Going to close this and rephrase question in new post based on new ideas on how to tackle it.
