Please look at the attached screenshot where the Katalon Studio fails to set the PostalCode value .It just sets ‘v53’ instead of ‘v5h 2w5’ when I rerun the scripts.Please advice

Hi Nandu,

How about other approach like sendKeys:

```auto
WebUI.sendKeys(findTestOBject("your_Object"), 'v5h 2w5')

```

Try it. . . . 🙂

There is no screenshot, nor are there any scripts attatched. Please attatch them so we can take a further look

@nandu.9363 I have noticed this issue sometimes happen with Firefox in some fields. You can try sending the character one by one.

Something like this.

```auto
    WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Payments_Page/input_postal_code'), 'v')

    WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Payments_Page/input_postal_code'), '5')

    WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Payments_Page/input_postal_code'), 'h')

    WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Payments_Page/input_postal_code'), '2')

    WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Payments_Page/input_postal_code'), 'w')

    WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Payments_Page/input_postal_code'), '5')

```
