Viable solutions that worked

Javascript click

Props to @Russ_Thomas and @Brandon_Hein

Keyword

package util

import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.common.WebUiCommonHelper
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.DriverFactory

public class Util {

	public static void jsClick(final TestObject testObject) {
		WebElement element = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(testObject, 30);
		WebDriver driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver();
		JavascriptExecutor jsExecutor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
		jsExecutor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);
	}
}

In test case

import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject as TestObject

// This is the import statement for the "Util" Custom Keyword we've created:
import util.Util

TestObject myTestObject = ObjectRepository.findTestObject("path/to/my/object");
Util.jsClick(myTestObject);

Wait for element to be clickable

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject('Page_CuraHomepage/btn_MakeAppointment'), 20)

Double click

you can also try WebUI.enhancedClick, if the elements you are trying to click contains a javascript onclick attribute then single click will throw ‘element not interactable’ exception. best solutions for this is to use -

  1. WebUI.doubleClick()
  2. WebUI.enhancedClick()
