Not finding dropdown/ text box in dom

I am working with salesforce, i am trying to change values, 2 drop down and 3 text boxes
Here is a photo of the dom


i have tried referencing by id, cant find
it can find the td id
I have also tried xref @id, xref @[ td id]/div[2]/span/select
nothing seems to work
when i copy the id from open inspect screen on the webpage and paste into the ui vision target field, the find button then does find it, but then if i reload the page, it wont work again
its very strange. any help would be appreciated
my code is below for your reference:
{
“Command”: “click”,
“Target”: “xpath=//[@id=“00NE0000000eRDU_ilecell”]",
“Value”: “”,
“Targets”: [
“id=00NE0000000eRDU”,
"xpath=//
[@id=“00NE0000000eRDU”]”,
“xpath=//select[@id=‘00NE0000000eRDU’]”,
“xpath=//td[2]/div[2]/span/select”,
“css=#00NE0000000eRDU”
]
},
{
“Command”: “select”,
“Target”: “xpath=//[@id=“00NE0000000eRDU”]",
“Value”: "value=105 ",
“Targets”: [
“id=00NE0000000eRDU”,
"xpath=//
[@id=“00NE0000000eRDU”]”,
“xpath=//select[@id=‘00NE0000000eRDU’]”,
“xpath=//td[2]/div[2]/span/select”,
“css=#00NE0000000eRDU”
]
},
{

Try a different selector provided in UIVision and also use ChroPath extension for chrome for additional selectors UIVision can’t find

Best suggestion !

Use always third part xpath finder, there are more and more and find new xpath (sometimes i use katalon recorder addons to find new xpaths).

As i said, i tried using by id, not found in Bom
i then tried to find id higher in the BOM, ilecell, SUCCESS, found in BOM from UI Vision Find button and successfully ran in program
but then i tried to xpath from this id, not found
I tried id ileinner, could not find
I tried full xpath, not found

funny part is when i right click and click inspect to bring up the page BOM, copy and paste id=00NE0000000eRDU, it works
maybe i need to try to simulate a opening the inspect during program run?
Only other thing i think would work is visual, but I am just curious why browser RPA not working on Salesforce

Any other suggestions

Without url page it’s hard to help you.

If you do not find any solution the only way is use Xcilc/Xtype (with xpath or image)

For every element there are a large amount of xpath usually a good xpath can be found.
