Node type: fill_field · Version: 1 · Category: Browser Enter static or protected data. This node is not marked with the catalogue’s generic side-effect flag. That classification is not a guarantee that every configured operation is read-only; review the concrete action and its destination.

​
When to use this node

  • Enter mapped text into a recorded form control.
  • Resolve a protected value at runtime and keep it redacted from evidence.

​
Example: Fill a protected password

Record the password field, map a protected variable to value, clear old content, and mark the input sensitive.
Example settings
This shows the important settings, not a complete exported node. The locator is shortened for readability; use the recorder to create the complete structured locator bundle.
  1. Record the field by label or accessible role.
  2. Map the protected variable instead of storing literal secret text.
  3. Test that logs show redaction and that the page accepted the value.

​
Configuration

Enable sensitive for protected mappings so entered values are redacted from logs and execution data.

​
Workflow JSON

The editor stores this node with the following implemented default configuration:
Default node configuration
Values may be entered literally or mapped from an earlier compatible output when the inspector exposes a mapping control. See Variables and data mapping.

​
Inputs

This node has no typed ports in this direction.

​
Outputs

​
Execution behavior

  • clearExisting replaces current content; otherwise input is appended using the browser’s field behavior.
  • sensitive marks the resolved value for redaction but does not change the destination website’s handling of it.
  • The editor catalogue declares result (any) for mapping. The execution inspector can contain additional evidence fields; inspect a real result before selecting nested paths from object or any outputs.

​
Common issues

  • A sensitive field with no protected mapping is intentionally incomplete.
  • Framework-controlled inputs can reformat values; verify the resulting page state instead of assuming keystrokes were accepted.

​
Where it can run

  • Desktop local runner
  • Paired self-hosted runner
  • Managed browser worker

​
Test and inspect

Use Test node in the editor to preview this step with the current configuration. A full run records resolved inputs, outputs, logs, duration, and any artifacts in the execution inspector. Side-effecting or destructive nodes can require an additional confirmation or approved workflow permission.
