Hello. I'm trying to automate an upload file event on Chrome using the Native Browser Element features, once the upload button has been clicked on the browser the window comes up but I'm having trouble intracting with it, its not recognized with Native Browser Commands nor Desktop UI Commands like Wait for Element to exist or Wait for Window to exist, it does not show on the drop down list of Active Windows either for example if only OpenBots Studio and Chrome are open, only Current Window, Chrome and OBStudio show. To what group does a upload file window belongs to or how can I reference it without using explicit coordinates for the mouse to click

Please note that Windows based windows can be recognized by the Desktop Automation commands. You won't be able to obtain a selector using the Native Browser commands, because the elements within this window are not web based. Please use the Desktop recorder to interact with the elements within the window. Also note that since these windows are considered children of a parent window, they are not generated in the list of currently active windows. However, the "Window Name" field is editable, and you can type the child window name as input.
In addition, when using the Desktop recorder, it will generate a selector that has the parent window as the higher level parameter, and the child-window as the next level parameter.
Hope this helps!
