Have you selected “SimulateClick” option in the properties panel. With simulate click you can select the invisible values.

@KarthikByggari i have another problem , there are two drop down boxes but both of em are having same selctors what should i do?

I can’t remember what I did for this, but definitely check to make sure they don’t have a difference somewhere, as they likely will. Otherwise this is an “Acme test” and there are likely a few ways round this, one option being to use an anchor to denote where the selector should be?

@Alex_Cross thank you for replying , i dont have any idea about how to work with an anchor. can you explain it or any other solutions?

[Alex_Cross]

If you use the “Anchor Base” activity, then “Find Element” on the left, you can use that to set the Anchor to Month, or Year, above the boxes. Then on the right you can use click/select from dropdown etc

Hope that helps
