This code should do the job in Java. Put it before you enter the second piece of text.

_driver.findElement(By.id/css/xpath("element")).clear();

element.clear
element.sendkeys(value)

if you want to make this a one line step which combines clear and sendkeys, then you have many options, some dependent on the language you are using.

eg.

  • create a helper method which takes element and value

  • extend Element class and create a new method called Setvalue

  • Overwrite the existing sendkeys with a new method which calls clear first

Each of these have pros and cons and may be dependent on the language you use
