# Unable to select element while creating Flows

## Issue

In some applications, attempting to select an element using left-click may inadvertently trigger the element's action, such as navigating to a different page or submitting a record. This issue can prevent you from capturing other necessary steps in the Flow.

## Suggested Solution

Use **right-click** instead of left-click to capture the element. This method enables you to capture the element and create the step without triggering the element's action.

Note:

If the issue persists, contact [support@whatfix.com](mailto:support@whatfix.com?Subject=Unable%20to%20select%20element%20while%20creating%20Flows&Body=Hello%20Team%2C%0A%0AI%27m%20unable%20to%20select%20element%20while%20creating%20Flows.%0A%0AThanks%20and%20regards.).
