Rather then selecting it is making it blank

And when iam using find childeren activity that method is also not working to select the specific item.
Is there any other logic to select the specific item?

Hi @Priyesh_Shetty

Before using Select Item Activity, use Set focus activity and try it

I tried but no result.

@Priyesh_Shetty

ideally u can follow a diff approach

you should be possible to use the click activity, only thing is your selector should be dynamic.

Use two click activities ,one two expand the dropdown… the other click activity to click on the item you need…

Cheers!!

Drop UI Explorer Selectors.

@Karthik_Reddy_A

@pikorpa

Then how did you solved the problem.

16

I used click activity to extend the list and after that I used select item.
This issue I had only with one application.
I don’t know if it will help you but you can try.

Hi @Priyesh_Shetty ,

Try these below solutions, it will be helpful I believe.

Scenario 1:
Action: Manually click on the dropdown, type your selection, and confirm with the Tab or Enter key.
Solution: Use the UiPath activities - Click for dropdown, TypeInto to input text, and either TypeInto or a separate Hotkey activity for Tab/Enter. Set a 30 ms delay between keys in the TypeInto activity.

Scenario 2:
Action: Click on the dropdown, navigate to the selection using Down arrow keys, and confirm.
Solution: Employ UiPath activities - Click for dropdown, send Down hotkey for the required count, and use TypeInto or Hotkey for Tab/Enter. Maintain a 30 ms delay between keys in the TypeInto activity.

Note: Ensure case sensitivity when entering the dropdown selection text. Verify with your current solution before applying this text case sensitivity.

I need to use multiple hotkey to select specific item because it is on 6th or 7th position.

  1. First try using only strict selector…I see you selected fuzzy as well
  2. And it looks like a combo box and not select…select item generally works with select tag …so for combo box you can follow below approach

a) click on the dropdown
b) As it is combo box I beleive you can type into the field to get the value you need so use type into to type the value you want to select
c) Now use one more click to select the value that is search…for this click make sure you have a variable in innertext and you pass the value you want to select in that field

cheers
