Is it possible to pass an argument to the specified Application file when trying to record actions for a Windows executable?
An executable I would like to record requires a .ini file to be passed as an argument. I cannot seem to pass this argument when starting recording from the Windows Action Recorder.
Is it possible to call executables with required parameters from the Windows Action Recorder?

You can sepecify application arguments using appArguments capabilities like this:
Reference: WinAppDriver/AuthoringTestScripts.md at master · microsoft/WinAppDriver · GitHub
For anyone looking to solve this in the future, this desired capabilities can be found by pressing the Edit button for the Windows Action Recorder Configuration.
Thank you … it works … looks I need take some time to learn …

Hi @duyluong
I have tested the app that starts from bat file as below:
When i try to set the app arguments as you mentioned in katalon, the app still not start with enable unicode. What should I do?
And how can I add this configuration in script to replay?
Please advice.
You can use Start Application With Title keyword to start your app and help Studio detect your app in this way
Windows.startApplicationWithTitle('path to batch file', 'Your Window App title');
