Another option is to use a keyboard shortcut if that is supported for the menu item.

Hi there @warterritory,
Have you consider the Select Item Activity?

Documentation on it can be found below:

Select Item

This would be the easiest method, if it’s supported.

Thanks in advance,
Josh

Hey use Select Item Activity and provide your desired Pull-down menu item as an string in the item field.

You can try two click activities by the help of UI Explorer you can create selector for them.

Alternatively you can use hover and click.

Hi. Thank you all for your answers, but I have solved it in another way. I had to move the shortcut to the access bar, and I could click without any problem.

Maybe not the best solution, but I solved it with one click to open the menu, then a second click anchored to the same menu button but with a y offset.
