Issue
Flow has failed because the 'Original element on which content was created seems to be missing during content play.'
Probable Causes
Following are some potential cases where a Flow might fail because 'Original element on which content was created seems to be missing during content play.'
- Whatfix is unable to detect the element on which the Flow step was created.
- The application UI over which the step was created may not be the same as the one over which the Flow is played.
- The configured CSS Selectors don't point to the correct element or are unable to identify the element. For more information, see Can Whatfix capture the CSS selector of an element?.
- If the Flow was created a long time ago, the properties of the element structure may have changed. Re-selecting the failed steps ensures that the Flow doesn't fail. For more information, see Reselect Elements to manage UI changes.
Suggested Solutions
- Verify the UI element where the Flow is breaking.
- Verify that the element is visible to the end users during content play.
- Verify that the Flow navigation is accurate.
- In case of a discrepancy, re-select the element or verify the CSS selectors on which the step is failing. For more information, see Reselect Elements to manage UI changes.
