If you have it opened in your browser, you could just use ui interaction (action) to perform set of clicks (to select a field) and then paste the text from clipboard (or any text that you set up earlier)

here is the log image

Not sure what exactly does that mean but just to confirm, have you started your macro with ui interaction - click to choose the field you want to paste the text into? On some newer devices you also need to use refresh clipboard action to make sure macrodroid has access to whatever is in clipboard

When using paste action I also suggest to select clear existing content. When I don't select it it doesn't paste the text

The error message indicates that you can only paste into EditTextfield.
The reason for the error is that you are trying to paste into android.widget.FrameLayout.
yes,that's why i am willing to know any workaround, it prohibited further action in a macro.

AutoInput can be used to input into the website.

With Screen Content and coordinates, this much can be done.

It may not work for all patterns, but overcoming the limitations of EditTextfields was a accomplishment.

Press Enter also doesn't work after AutoInput write action

The same macro did not work, so I made separate macros.
One is to make the click by coordinates, and the other is to enter tab by adb command.

EDIT : The adb command worked without separating macros.
EDIT : Uncheck Block next action until complete in AutoInput.
