How to correctly read options of a dropdown field in a webapplication that uses DOM

Hello,
I’m using these packages for a project: UiPath: 25.4.131.23154-preview, UiPath.System.Activities: 23.10.4, and UiPath.UiAutomation.Activities 25.10.0-preview.
Now I have a problem in a web application where I can’t correctly read the options offered in dropdown fields to select a specific one.
The application is developed in Java and uses DOM.
This is what the “Leistungsart” (Service Type) dropdown field looks like:

The image shows a dropdown menu labeled "Leistungsart" with a list of medical-related service types, including organ donation and acupuncture. (Captioned by AI)

When I use the developer tools to view the page structure, I find this:

I can find this dropdown field in the process and now I want to use “findChildren” to read the options and save them in a variable of type ienumerable.
Unfortunately, the <ul class=‘bm-dropdown’ …> visible in the screenshot is not found.
What should I try to ensure the list reads correctly?
Can anyone help?

Kind regards

ensure that you bring Studio Version and essential Packages (UiPath.System.Activities, UiPath.UiAutomation.Activties) within a balanced version level.
(UiAutomation, System Pakete laufen ein bisschen auseinander)

Also check, the involvement of Java and maybe Frames and Integrations (e.g. JxBrowser, Electron…) and if it is given or not.

Then focus more on the triggers when the UL/LIs are displayed and try again more in this direction. Ensure also that the right Find_Scope is set for the find children and cross check the find children filter as well
