Can't delete values of input field

[AI123]

I have an input field which is preallocated with suggestion values and I can type in my own values.
The values I type in are automatically separated if I type "," or enter after the value.

This is the field:

Tags are deleted if I click on them.
They are also deleted if I click after the last tag and then click Backspace.
Every backspace deletes one tag.

The problem is that I only want to use my own values. So I have to delete the preallocated values.
I tried to delete the preallocated values this way:

;this clear doesn't work:
;/html/body/div/div[1]/ui-view/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[3]/div
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, _
"//div/div[1]/ui-view/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[3]/div")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, "clear")
Sleep(500)

;this clear also doesn't work:
;/html/body/div/div[1]/ui-view/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[3]
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, _
"//div/div[1]/ui-view/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[3]")
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, "clear")
Sleep(500)

;go into the input field
;/html/body/div/div[1]/ui-view/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[3]/div/div[1]/span/div/div/input
$sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, _
"//div/div[1]/ui-view/div/div/div/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[3]/div/div[1]/span/div/div/input")

;delete of tags doesn't work:
;I don't need tag q. I set it only to be after the last tag.
;New tags are automatically set after the last tag
;I try to go to the end of all tags and the press backspace until all tags are deleted
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, "value", "q"); -> works value is set
Sleep(500)
For $g = 1 To 25
    ;Console Output: _WD_ElementAction ==> Invalid data type: (Name|Rect|Text|Selected|Enabled|Displayed|Active|Attribute|Property|CSS|Clear|Click|Value|Screenshot) $sCommand=>key
    _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, "key", "{BACKSPACE}")
    Sleep(500)
Next

;this also doesn't work:
_WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, "clear")
Sleep(500)

This is the html structure:

So is there a way to delete the preallocated tags from the field?

I'm sure it can be done, but not with the limited information supplied. I would need access to the website or details on the library that implements the element.

To send a backspace try this :

$sAction = '{"actions":[{"type": "key", "id": "keyboard_1", "actions": [{"type": "keyDown", "value": "\uE003"}, {"type": "keyUp", "value": "\uE003"}]}]}'
_WD_Action($sSession, "actions", $sAction)

The website is spreadshirt . de. I have an account there. It can only be tested with an account there.

The solution by Nine works, so I don't need further help for this. But thank you for your effort.

Thank you, that works. 🙂 Is it right that the action will be done on the Window/field that has the focus? So if I have an text editor additionally open and click on it the backspace would be done there instead of the browser?

No the backspace will always be performed on the opened Chrome session no matter what window has the focus.
