    Hi Nebti,



    If your test populates fields via the .SetText() method, you may try to replace it with the call to the .Keys() method for the last field or for all of them. (According to your message, it might be enough to use .Keys() for the last mandatory field.)

This might depend on the tested application...

In general, .SetText() method works faster, especially, for the web-based applications. However, .SetText() does not trigger internal methods of the tested application that are triggered when the user presses keys on the keyboard. (Usually, this happens for the custom, in-house controls that do not implement complete and extensive support for the control contents change events.) And the fact, that these methods are not triggered, might result in the behaviour that had been observed.
