Found an issue with already created scripts while executing, its failing at the Get_web_value command with  the below error.
'INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An invalid or illegal XML character is specified.' 

Also created new script with different web elements to test it, its still failing at that command.

Hi Pallavi,

Since site is not public, could you please provide us with part of the DOM for one or a few of the objects?

You can do that as follows:

1- Run your test case to reach this object or open the site and locate the object
2- Right click the object and click Inspect
3- Chrome should highlight the object in Elements window
4- Right click on the element and select Copy > Copy Element
5- Paste the exact copied element in your response. 

Regards,

Subject7 Team

The issue is only with the elements in the table

Hi Pallavi,

Thank you for sending part of the DOM. Could you please click on the Get_Web_Value step to show all command options and send us a snapshot of this step?

Also, please send us the XPath that you used in this locator so we can investigate further.

Regards,
