How can I handle (set/write) the datepicker from Google Form in UiPath?

Question

I can't handle in a simple way the datepicker of this test google form with UiPath Studio. The steps I tried are detailed further below.

I really thought someone had the same problem since it's a widely spread service. Ok there's this one, but still.

I tried :

• the 'Type into' activity
• the 'set text' activity
• the 'set web attribute' activity
• the 'Keyboard Shortcut' activity

I really tried to inspect and look for the right selector but well it's not that easy for this one I guess.

I'm not qualified in it but UiPath (the automation software) is able of injecting JavaScript.

I expect a quick method that would input a date in the test google form.

If you have any idea, I'll take it for sure !

Thank you very much !

Not sure what you have tested or if I got you wrong, but it instantly works with a Type Into:

and

with selectors:
