Hello! have one problem on my webpage there is field which can be filled only with digits, it is ID. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/3X/9/e/9e9124dfa166a5f37b4efa2e044869a3ec756201.png) The problem is that i need to enter every time different ID number, so i need to randomly generate it and fill into my form. here is my code example ```auto int randomDigits randomDigits = (Math.random()*10000000000) int a=randomDigits WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/id_card_number')) WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/id_card_number'), randomDigits ) WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/id_card_number'), '1234' ) WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/id_card_number'), Keys.chord('1234')) ``` ```auto WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/id_card_number'), randomDigits ) ``` this part throw error ```auto 2021-09-16 15:21:39.284 DEBUG testcase.Registration_full - 15: setText(findTestObject("Object Repository/step1/id_card_number"), randomDigits) 2021-09-16 15:21:39.354 ERROR c.k.katalon.core.main.TestCaseExecutor - ❌ Test Cases/Registration/Registration_full FAILED.

Can someone help me with this issue. I need somehow take random 10 digits (only integer) and put in into my field ---

you need to call .toString() on the randomDigits ---

there’s several reasons that COULD cause this one would be that your xpath is wrong(and not selecting the correct input), you should verify that first another possibility is that the input is cleared afterward(could be as a result from you clicking on it) another could be because of the validation on that field that clears it under wrong input what you should do is, first, do everything manually, with correct data so you can go to the next step then try to replicate that exact input through automation and THEN you should look into randomizing the input if you still can’t find the solution, it would be helpful to share the selection method and the selector, as defined in katalon for the testobject ---

found a workaround, if I paste ID in another field with ‘-’ signs and then send key CTRL+A ,CTRL+C, i can paste it in card id field ```auto int random_7_Digits random_7_Digits = (Math.random()*10000000) //generate random id number id_number = '13-'+ random_7_Digits + '-1' //copy the id number into mail and paste in id field WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/mail'), id_number) WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/mail'), Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, 'a')) WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/mail'), Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, 'c')) WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/id_card_number')) WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Object Repository/step1/id_card_number'), Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, 'v')) ``` here is atribute settings ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/3X/4/c/4c6a4e7337cfd1b40528b38e73033e6768f7c5c2.jpeg) very strange why i cant just type text in field, first time i see this kind of fields ---

Try `sendKeys()` for the whole string of characters. Some input controls need to “sense” keypresses.
