Hi @Mkary

Check out this blog and thread

Drop Down Menus in UiPath (Find Children & Select Item) – andersjensenorg.

Extracting data from drop down/ Can we use the Get Attribute property, if yes, How?

if possible please share the url with the drop down dropdown boxes can be of different types (Web) select option input, datalist Web Frameworks so it is also importnt of which type the drop down is (just analyse it within the UiExplorer) Once we do know then we can work out the matching strategy For extracting the values of a common drop down (Select option) we can use find children activity as just a few examples

Hi @Mkary

If you want to select a particular item then suggest to use Select Item activity, but you need to careful that the option exactly matches the same in the option

Hope this may help you

Hi @Mkary ,
Have you tried “select Item” activity ?

eg in UiPath forum

regards,

[Mkary (M)]

I tried but it didn’t extract all of the value. It has extracted just two of them

I tried but it didn’t extract all of the value. It has extracted just two of them. I need all of them

Can you share your link or your screen?

[Mkary (M)]

You join the site by registering, the link may not work. but this is my screen;

and the outcome is just like that, it extracted just one of them;

Also i tried table extraction it also failed because it extracted by 26.00, but it had to print it by 99.00.15, so it only got half of it.

[Mkary (M)]

yes i tried but i dont understand how i extract all of the value using select item

Hi @Mkary ,
You can use this step

find children to get List UI element
in for each element to get attribute

You don’t use Select Item. People aren’t paying attention to what your question is.

If you want to get all the options from a pulldown, then use the Find Children classic activity.

I realized that when i use ui explorer, it doenst’ see all the options in the drop down list, it just see the selected item i guess that’s why it extracts just the one item. how can i fix it?
