Your case is similar to

> [@Not able to validate SOAP call response](http://forum.katalon.com/t/not-able-to-validate-soap-call-response/58330):
>
> Hello, I’m hitting another roadblock trying to assert some results for a SOAP call. Please find the sample response below: \<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?\> \<env:Envelope xmlns:xsi="" xmlns:ns="" xmlns:ns2="" xmlns:ns1="" xmlns:env=""\> \<env:Header\> \<wsse:Security xmlns:wsse=""\> \<wsu:Timestamp wsu:Id="" xmlns:wsu=""\> \<wsu:Created\>2021-09-15T19:23:13.688Z \</wsu:Created\> \<wsu:Expires\>2021-09-15T19:28:13.688Z \</wsu:Expires\> \</wsu:Timestamp\> …

`WS.verifyElementText` keyword does not work when the response SOAP message has a `<soap:Header>` element in front of a `<soap:Body>` element. I checked it is the case in v8.1.0. This fact is not documented.
