Select item activity is not working in Uielement - This control does not support select item

Hi All,

I want to select an item from drop list, but target is not supporting to use the activity. Please find the screenshot.

Is there any method that i can select appropriate item in dropdown?

@NaveenKNave

First check properties, any other attribute changes may resolve this error.
Use UiExplorer to indicate the target element. and customize the attributes.

If it wont work,
use click activities to click on drop down and use one more click activity to click on target item

Happy Automation!!

Hey @NaveenKNave if the select item activity does not support.you can use click activity.and enable the simulate option.

cheers

Hi @yedukondaluaregala ,

not able to select any of the items and i tried with simulate method also not working

If possible can you share screenshot of that or try with CV select item activity

Screenshot of UiExplorer and CV select is not working here.

Hi @NaveenKNave,

Can you please share the screenshot of how does your drop down looks like?

Sometimes, select item doesn’t work. but for some drop down, you just need to type in the value you want to select and it will appear.

or you need to click that arrow icon on the drop down using click activity and then select/click the item you want in the name using aaname attribute of that selector.

Can you please share screen shot where you are trying to select item

Hi @sonaliaggarwal47,

Yes i need to click first to open the dropdown and select the respective item, but here none of the item is indicating and typing inside the value is also not working.

@NaveenKNav

Dont try to get the selector of the items inside..

Can you try getting the selector of that text area shown in the drop down. I believe you should be able to get that.

Once you get that, it would probably show all values under inner text. somewhat like below probably, i had the similar scenario at my end:

that means its recognizing that drop down. then just use that selector in select item activity and type in the value you want in select item. it should work.

Try also using a Type Into activity (with Simulate) with a higher delay for the targeted UI element without having to click beforehand.

here is screenshot of selectors of text area

@NaveenKNave
Please try selector around that area again and see if you are able to get selector for type text.

if not, try with CV type into and see if it works.
