Hi,

So basically i need to extract a table from a web-page and save it into a database.  
To achieve that, i am trying to use 'get attribute' node of selenium where i am extracting 'innerText' of individual row using get by xPath. When i branch out my flow and use get attribute for different rows on the first one works rest do now work.

As shown in the picture, the first get attribute node "passes" and the second one get stuck at locating.  
Below is the code

```auto
