Welcome to the community

For select item to work the selector you use should be of tag select …if it is any other tag then you cannot directly use select item activity

instead needs to use a combination with click and scroll activities to click on the drop down…and once opened scroll through and then perform click again on the required value

cheers

Hi @nourddine.aitkham Just give a try with Click Activity

Hi @nourddine.aitkham,

The error message “Attribute not supported by the current UiNode” typically means that the activity you are using is not compatible with the current type of UiNode you are working with. It’s possible that the “Select Item” activity is not compatible with the dropdown list you are trying to modify.

Here are some things you can try:

  1. Check the Selector: Ensure that the Selector for the UiNode you are trying to interact with is correctly specified and uniquely identifies the dropdown list you are interested in. You may need to use UiExplorer to inspect the UiNode and determine the appropriate Selector.
  2. Check the UiNode Type: Confirm that the UiNode you are trying to modify is a dropdown list and that it’s compatible with the “Select Item” activity. If it’s not a dropdown list, you may need to use a different activity to interact with it.
  3. Use Different Activity: Try using a different activity that’s compatible with the UiNode you are working with. For example, you can try using the “Click” activity to open the dropdown list and then use the “Click Text” activity to select the item you want.
  4. Verify Your Input: Double-check that the input you are passing to the “Select Item” activity is valid and corresponds to one of the options in the dropdown list.
  5. Review the Documentation: Review the UiPath documentation and the community forums to see if there are any known issues or limitations with the “Select Item” activity and the specific web page you are working with.

I hope these suggestions help you resolve your issue!
