@hpulsford@Do_Dieu_Thuy – Could you try with set delay in each action and then try to execute -

Change the “Detect object by” from xpath to text,class and tag. Sometimes it cant locate it as the xpath has changed and therefore is trying to click somewhere else on the page. If this doesnt work try re-capturing it.

Just checking - this is the element you are trying to click on, correct?

Hi,

```
 maybe you will need to use dynamic xpath value as like

 int x = some_integer_value;
 String txtval = x	
 'Change xpath property to new value'
 //text = property type, possible to use xpath also
//txtval = value which will change, need to be string type
//xpathVal = "//div[@id='example_paginate']/span/a["+value_to_change+"]"
newProperty = WebUI.modifyObjectProperty(findTestObject('Object Repository/DatePicker/Page_/day'), 'text','equals',txtval, true)
//if used xpath
//newProperty = WebUI.modifyObjectProperty(findTestObject('Object Repository/DatePicker/Page_/day'), 'xpath','equals',xpathVal, true)
WebUI.click(newProperty, FailureHandling.OPTIONAL)
```
