Hi @MdEbrahim

Check out that you can click the dropdown and then, instead to click which element of the menu do you want, you can type into that value (normally you should able to do this, maybe not because how its done the webpage). If you type the value of the element that you want and send an Enter hotkey it should be the same as make a click.

Also, with almost full probability you should be able to identify the inside elements of the menu with UiExplorer, so if you can indentify them, you are able to click them.

I hope this can help you.

Kind regards,
Pablo

Don’t try to click the text once you got it, just go ahead to the next field, you already have put “Recruitment” in your wanted field.

Using click element 1st click on main element ( which open drop down ), then press keydown in your keyboard ( UIPath Activity : type into… will trigger keyboard, press down in it )

Hi Siva,

If your excel has the full value then you can directly put as rows.Column name, with that it might resolve your problem

Thanks

I know this is an old post but thank you! thank you! This had been driving me crazy, then I saw your post. I added a click activity to activate the box then a get attribute to get the “text” value and it works perfectly. Huge relief! Thank you again.
