How to Handle Dropdown Selection and Attribute Creation in UiPath

[kflorian]

My automation involves filling out forms using data from a CSV file.

The issue: The first field consists of two boxes. The first box has an autocomplete feature—if a value like “vanilla” was previously entered, it appears in the dropdown. However, if I try to enter a new value like “cinnamon,” the dropdown only suggests existing values (e.g., words starting with “c”) and prevents me from completing the entry. There’s no error message; it just won’t let me proceed.

The workaround is to manually click the second box to create the new attribute and then continue. How can I replicate this behavior using UiPath’s drag-and-drop functionality? I’ve tried Check App State, but it hasn’t worked.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Welcome to the community

You can use check app state

Basically indicate the dropdown and add variable in place of innertext in selector

Now after type into if the dropdown contains value then click else click on next input field
