I Want to randomly select items in a select item. Can anyone help pls?

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:

Hi! An easy question. How can I set a variable with a random number? Thank you for your help!

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!
