Good morning, all. I am having a very hard time figuring out why my code "breaks" every second (and every time after) iteration in the loop.
I am trying to automate the process of filling out a form for work. I need to find and send data to seven fields and get data from one field.
Here are a couple of pictures of the fields I am interacting with. The fields are on the same forum/page. (the green boxed ones)
Here is my code so far.
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7
;Allows for the combining of UDFs by disabling error messages. (I get error messages for "problems" that dont actually exsist)

That is not all the code but that is the function that keeps "breaking" and by "breaking" I mean the program acts like it doesn't know where the description field is after the first iteration.
My code will just click somewhere in the far top left corner and somehow shrink the browser in the process of finding the description field.
The code works perfectly the first iteration but after that, it "breaks" (doesn't know where to click/send data to).
As always any help is greatly appreciated.
NOTE: By the time 'Action 16' runs Chrome has already been opened and has navigated to the proper webpage. I am trying to loop 'Action 16' multiple times. I do not leave that webpage while looping.
