Welcome to community!!

Use get attribute activity, it get all drop down details, folllow below thread

I am using a desktop application and I want to get all the items from a dropdown list

I am trying to automate a desktop application and need to retrieve all the items from a dropdown menu. I’ve tried almost all the solutions available, which suggest using the ‘Find Children’ activity. I used this method, but my list still ends up empty. It seems that reading items from a dropdown in a desktop application might require a different approach. Can someone help me solve this issue?

Happy Automation!!

Hi @shaik_roshan

Welcome to UiPath,

Use the Click activity to open the dropdown menu.
Utilize the Find Children activity to locate all items within the dropdown, setting the Filter property to target the dropdown items with an appropriate selector.
Implement a For Each activity to iterate through the found items.
Inside the loop, use the Get Attribute activity to extract the text of each item, setting the Attribute property to “innerText” or “text”.
Store the extracted values in a list or variable for further processing.
Finally, use a Message Box or Write Line activity to display the extracted values.

If you found helpful, feel free to tick as a solution.
Happy Automation

Lets retake it and present the different options Mission: extract all options from a dropdown [grafik] Option 1 - Using the items attribute [grafik] [grafik] Option 2 - using Find children and processing the result with LINQ [grafik] Postprocessing the myChildren [grafik] Option 3 - using Find children and processing the result with For each [grafik] [grafik] also we can modify like using innertext as attribute or using myOption = myOption.Append(myAttributeValue).toList instead of…

Hi you can utilise the select item from menu activity

Search select and try to use that activity
You can try class or modern version of it

This is specifically design to get details from drop down
