Dropdown activating while I am trying to select it

The Published Date drop down allows me to indicate it for clicking but not for selecting an item from the drop down. Any suggestions? When I click to indicate the drop down it activates it and moves to the next screen.

Hi,

Can you elaborate your problem?
In my environment, it seems SelectItem activity works.

Regards,

Thank you. After I clicked to indicate it, the button was being activated but it does actually seem to work.

After trying it more I am still having issues. I created a variable with a date MMM dd, yy and I want to use that variable to pick from this drop down.
When I try to select this button while the drop down is open, when I select that drop down area it acts like it is activated and goes to the next screen. so if I click on it while it has just the initial month day, year it acts like it activates and goes to the drop down that I am looking for…however, it seems like I can not just grab the carrot and while I am trying to use my variable for the Item to Select, it is only selecting the item from the image.

Next I want to grab the data from the foreign currency amount and enter it into an excel sheet.

Hi,

What version of UiAutomation package do you use?
If it’s old version, can you update it to the latest stable version?

SelectItem works in my environment(Studio 25.10.3 + UiAutomation pack 25.10.22)

Regards,

I am using StudioX I think I might have to try Studio. Thank you for your response.

HI,

In StudioX(Studio for Citizen Developer), it also works.
As the behavior is mostly depended on UiAutomation pack, give it a try the latest version of UiAutomation.

This is what I have.
I created a variable that wrote out the month name, day and year. it only works if I start with a different date in the box other than Dec 31, 2025. I can click on the date box but it doesn’t select the month, day, year based on my variable that was created. I made a message box and my message indicates month, day year but it is not being selected from the drop down.

Hi,

I think the following Click activity is unnecessary. Can you try to remove (or disable) it then run again?

Regards,

That fixed it! Thank you so very much!!!
