Fill Field

Fill Field

Type: page-fill  ·  Package: Browser v1.0.0

Clears an input field (input or textarea) and writes the indicated value in one go. It is the fast and recommended way to fill out forms: it assigns the value directly, without simulating keystrokes.

How it works

Locate the field by its selector, delete what it had and place the new value. It does not generate individual keyboard events (it is almost instantaneous). If a page needs to react to every key (autocomplete, type-validating masks), use Type Text instead.

Required parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
selector	selector	The input field to fill out.
value	expression	The text to write. Supports expressions (e.g. = cliente.nombre).

Optional parameters

Parameter	Editor	Description
page	session	The page session. Omit it inside a body; outside, pass = page.
timeout	number	Maximum ms to wait for the element. By default 30000.

Example

Page Fill   selector = (#usuario)   value = = credential("portal")["user"]
Page Fill   selector = (#clave)     value = = credential("portal")["password"]
Page Fill   selector = (#buscar)    value = "factura 2026"

Fill vs Type

• Fill Field: Fast, assigns hit value. Your default option for forms.
• Type Text: slow, key by key. Use it only when the page depends on click events.

Unexposed credentials

For users and passwords, use = credential("nombre")["campo"] in value: the real value is never in the playbook or logs. See Use of credentials.
