I am getting an error with XPATH in GUI Automation even if the XPATH of the element is the same and the process is proceeding, as you can see the process is proceeding up to Web Click but it says that the step WC\_Gender can’t find the element that I put.

Hi! Justine,

First you need to resolve the WC\_Gender composite step. You could try adding a delay step or set a global delay in the Start Browser step.

Instead of Web Element Condition, in many cases a prefer the Web Wait Until. This will not generate a new variable and routes are based on existence or not of an element.  
Avoid the Filter Rows.
