Validate Partial Text
Purpose#
The "Validate Partial Text" action verifies whether a text field or text view contains the expected data, even if the match is partial. It retrieves text from a specified element using its ID or other attributes and compares it with the provided string. If the retrieved text partially matches the expected text, the validation is successful. For non-unique element identifiers, an index can be used to specify the exact element to check, making this action particularly useful for validating dynamic or repetitive content.
