Hello,
if you want to fire action that is bind on lost focus try to shift it using WebUI.focus() to next element.

Are you running into an error? Is the SendKeys failing, or just not placing text in the correct object?

WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject('Input'), Keys.chord('Text String',Keys.ENTER,Keys.TAB))

You also need the:

import org.openqa.selenium.Keys as Keys

Hello @Andrej_Podhajsky,

I actually want to fire an action that bind on lost focus, is passing the focus to the next object the only solution to do so? In this case what will happened when I’l get to the last text field? :thinking:
