Hi,

Use find childern activity instead of select item activity.Take for each loop use get attribute activity get “AANAME” to select multiple pages or other properties.

Hi,

Can you explain at what place will you find it difficult in a breif. So that it gives me an idea

Thanks

[yeshwanth]

i have indicated the dropdown in find children activity and stored the output in a variable. and then added for each activity and later added get attribute. The attribute activity is not taking that variable and also I tried debugging the find children activity but no children elements are visible at the local section

UiPath Find Children Activity | Select values from Dropdown| Select Item | Example | Selectors | RPA

When you get to the last page does the > button disappear or change in any way? My thinking is you’ll need a Do While with some sort of “we are not on the last page AND value not found” condition so it knows to stop if the correct checkbox isn’t found. Within the Do While you’d For Each UI Element through the options, checking each one if it’s the one you’re looking for. If it is then you set “value found” to true so the Do While stops, and Break out of the For Each UI Element.

Hi! Thanks for replying, The > symbol doesn’t disappear even after going to the last page

Hi @yeshwanth

Then extract the page no. you are on before the extract datatable and then compare the count value and the extracted variable same or not.

If same proceed to further else break the loop.

You can check the selector for the > button and see if it changes when you’re on the last page vs not on the last page. If it doesn’t change, then you’ll have to come up with a way - as Supriya mentioned - to determine if you’re on the last page.
