uip rpa indicate-element

uip rpa indicate-element invokes Studio's on-screen element indicator and stores the result as an element entry in the project's Object Repository, attached to a previously indicated screen or parent element. Use it to grow the Object Repository tree once the parent screen is in place via uip rpa indicate-application.

Studio drives the indicator UI, so the verb requires a Windows runner.
