Hi

you can't do that with this scraper

Pick pre-saved value from data entry field (from a saved form, post submittal)

You can extract it with element attribute selector, here is an example sitemap:

{"_id":"w3schools-form-test","startUrl":["https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp"],"selectors":[{"id":"First_name","type":"SelectorElementAttribute","selector":"input[name="firstname"] ","parentSelectors":["_root"],"multiple":false,"extractAttribute":"value","delay":0}]}
