    drag and drop the set variable operation into your keyword test workspace, create a new variable, select object property, and select the object property of the desired object

    then use either call object method or on screen action operation in order to select the textbox to input into, then use the keys or settext operation, then refer to the variable created above as the input value

that textbox may have a property which contains the text value that you are looking for.

save that property to a str variable -> navigate to that second tab second textbox you want to input into

use settext or keys method to input the str variable that we initially stored into the second textbox.

 

def test1():
str_variable = Alias.myTextbox1.contentText 
#perform some steps here to get to your second tab, etc
Alias.myTextbox2.SetText(str_variable)
