So I'm now trying to enter the data from my csv into the webpage using the Action Populate text field on webpage, but no characters are entered. I've definitely selected the input element, and I've chosen its ID only, which are always unique. When I run my flow, the webpage is loaded, then for some bizare reason the entire page is selected as though someone pressed CTRL+A, then the page is scrolled to the bottom. Nothing is entered into the text field itself.
Populate text field on webpage - does not enter data
Sounds bizarre and something I haven't encountered.
I've definitely selected the input element, and I've chosen its ID only, which are always unique
Do you mean the ID is unique every instance so every time you load the page? This should make the flow fail since it can't find the element with the ID that you have captured. So edit the element selector to reference some other attribute in that element or make it reference the ID by "starts with" operator and with value "form-field-input" if there is no other form field input id element in the page.
But since you get the same situation with https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp that has id fname which never changes it sounds like your browser extention might be broken some how. reinstall the browser extenstion and test with other browsers (chrome or edge or firefox) to see if you get the same result. Maybe reinstall PAD also

Hi
You can use the focus and click on web Page actions, and then go ahead and enter your text.
