Handle and Follow Links Using Web Element in RPA Express

Question

I am using WorkFusion RPA Express ver. 1.1.4. While Web Web Elements can be used to get/set web elements by XPath, attributes cannot be retrieved using this method.

The framework expects to see one or more Web Elements as a result, but not the attributes. So, I end up receiving Selenium Exceptions.

I was wondering if there is a way to capture the attributes of the web elements using XPath keeping them as web elements.

In future releases of Workfusion RPA Express version 1.1.4 (1.2.0 is the latest version), Web elements do have a use element attributes option wherein you can the values you are trying to retrieve.
