How to edit selector

Help Studio

I am performing a click activity within a loop. For each iteration, I am using a type into activity to type the value of my variable into a search field. Then, I need to click on the listed search result. However, there is an ID attached to each value in the result table. So, the click activity is only clicking on a single result for each iteration. Below is what my selector looks like:
**<webctrl aria-role='option' id='phraseIdDropdown:phraseId_1' tag='LI' />**

I am trying to edit my selector such that for each iteration, my selector will be
**<webctrl aria-role='option' id='phraseIdDropdown:phraseId_+id' tag='LI' />**
but this is not working.
Please, how do I go about this?

Try storing the part after id= into a variable, which will have 2 parts, the string “phraseIdDropdown:phraseId_” and the incrementing counter. Then add it to the selector with {{}} like here

Like {{phraseIdDropdown:phraseId_}} + {{id}}, right?

Hi @Emmy_O ,

Use it like id=‘phraseIdDropdown:phraseId_{{id}}’

What @ermanoj3101 said :slight_smile: the part you put inside {{}} is the variable, the part that is changing. The string “phraseIdDropdown:phraseId_” is a constant in this selector.
