`UiPath.Core.Activities.WaitAttribute`

Waits for the value of a specified UI element attribute to be equal to a string. If you
want to wait for a specific element to be enabled or not, please use this activity or
the [Get Attribute](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/ui-automation/get-attribute) one, coupled with the
`aastate` attribute, for example.

## Properties

### **Input**

* **Attribute** - The name of
  the attribute to wait for. A predefined list of attributes is available as a
  drop-down list in the activity. This field supports only String variables.
* **AttributeValue** - The
  expected value of the specified attribute. This field supports only String
  variables.
  
  :::note
  Before v20.4,
  the value of the **readyState** attribute was supporting Boolean values
  (True, False). After v20.4, it supports String variables ("1",
  "0").
  :::
* **Element** - The UI element
  that should contain the specified attribute. This field supports only UiElement
  variables.

### **Common**

* **DisplayName** - The display
  name of the activity.
* **TimeoutMS** - Specifies the
  amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait for the activity to run before an error
  is thrown. The default value is 30000 milliseconds (30 seconds).
* **ContinueOnError** -
  Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an
  error. This field only supports Boolean values (True, False). The default
  value is False. As a result, if the field is blank and an error is thrown,
  the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the
  execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
 
  :::note
  If this activity is included in **Try Catch** and the value of the **ContinueOnError** property is True, no error is caught when the project is executed.
  :::

### **Misc**

* **Private** - If selected, the
  values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.
