Hi @ates.ceken ,

I would suggest first collect the select items in a list. Then take item randomly from the list and pass it to the select item selector. And mean time remove the passed item from the list as well.

Hi @ates.ceken,

@manjula_rajendran’s suggestion would work, perhaps I can explain it a bit better.

If you can get all of the values the dropdowns give you into a list or String array, you can then get a random integer variable and refer to the list item with the variable in the Select Item you had in a screenshot you deleted.

To get the list of items, get a Get Attribute activity and in the attribute, specify “items”. The output variable would be a String array.

You can convert the String array to a list in a following assign with the following inside:
StringList = StringArray.ToList

You can then get a random integer by using one of the solutions in the below post:

To get your random item from the dropdown list, use a select item and specify your list and integer like so: StringList(IntVar). This should then give you a random item in your list that you can specify in the Select Item activity.

To then remove the entry from the list, look at the following topic and follow the suggestions:

Hope this helps!

Hi @ates.ceken ,

  1. Use get attribute selector and collect the items. Save the values in list. If there are no comma then join with (“,”).
  2. Now choose random value from the list and assign it to variable.
  3. Go to the browser, in the select item dropdown filed pass the value of variable from the second step.
  4. Do the steps what you wanted to do.
  5. Remove the 2 step value from the 1step list
