Hello, i have checked about custom keyword on the community and however i am not able to proceed with the technical implementation. Please find below my code to click on the button:

```
try {
WebUI.click(findTestObject('scr_MemorityPassword/button_log In'))
if (WebUI.waitForElementVisible(GlobalVariable.var_authenticationFailed, 2, FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)) {
    throw new StepErrorException(GlobalVariable.var_verifyUsernamePassword) }}catch(StepErrorException e) {
WebUI.closeBrowser()
KeywordUtil.markFailedAndStop(GlobalVariable.var_loginIssue)}

```

I want to have same logic in a custom keyword. Could you please help?
