Hello @arthurang

  1. Use the “Execute JavaScript” activity.
  2. Replace ‘yourNewValue’ with the desired value.
  3. Replace ‘yourDropdownId’ with the dropdown’s ID.
  4. Handle any errors with a Try-Catch block.
  5. Add a delay if needed.

Thanks & Cheers!!!

@arthurang

you can use :

find children activity

and also ytou can use ;
select item activity also works

once check whether Replace select item with the appropriate selector for the dropdown and “Desired Item Text” with the text of the item you want to select. This activity should set the dropdown value correctly, ensuring that the selected item is reflected in the UI.

Use the “Select Item” activity and “Find Children Activity” in UiPath. Indicate the dropdown element and specify the item you want to select.
Ensure that the dropdown is fully loaded before using the Select Item activity.

Hi,
If select item activity is not working for you.

then Try to use the click activity.

first use click on the dropdown.

then click on the dropdown list with specified value.

Try with making the selector dynamic with passing aaname with your value.

Hi Buddy,

I hope this solution will help you. The issue you’re facing, where ‘Select Item’ doesn’t work with dropdowns, is quite common nowadays due to the use of React JS, which often employs different classes. This makes it challenging to select dropdown items using UiPath activities.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

  1. Use the ‘Find Children’ activity to indicate the screen where you want to select the value (I’ve shown you how to select the selector, so please watch that part carefully).
  2. Employ a ‘For Each’ loop and set the argument type to ‘UiPath.Core.UiElement.’
  3. Use the ‘Click’ activity. If ‘Select Item’ doesn’t work, you can use the ‘Click’ activity and make it dynamic (I’ve demonstrated this in my video).

By following these steps, you should be able to select the item. If you have any doubts, please feel free to reach out."

Note: The use of video and demonstrations might make the explanation more effective if you have access to such resources.

Hi @arthurang ,

If possible can you please use Click activity to remove the previous value either it’s entered or not(removeentries) and then try to select that option.

Thanks,

you can use “find children activity” to get all the values from the dropdown and use "Select item "
and specify the drop down element you want to select.
Make sure you set it in properties “wait for page load” as complete.
