Or if you can select it manually, try to Send Hot Key (CTRL) than click using loop to select all items…

Hello,

what will be next action after you do ctrl+click manually?  
suppose its just downloads a file means you can scrape data to Datatable and loop through, if you want in real time ctrl+click means use the right\_click property in click activity and choose open in new tab/window

Thanks,  
Meg

Hello,

I had a similar scenario,  
On web application table, click on one colum item’s link goto that page, update and save, → repeat for all.

What we did was we scrapped the data, so the link was dynamic, found the dynamic selector, click on that item, update and click back button…  
We kept, _click-\>update-\>cllick back button_ inside the loop

is this similar?

Thanks,  
Meg

Okay got it,  
after scraping the data before entering the loop pass the hotkey CTRL and continue into a loop to click based on the business rule.

The Click activity has a KeyModifiers property that can be set to Ctrl. Then the bot will ctrl+click instead of just click.

</div>

@malam9384 - ideally, it should work with Key Modifier but if it not working for any reason I would suggest alternative approach :  
Approach 1 :  
a. Just check if the control has any attribute like “Selected Items” or similar which holds all the selected value.  
b. If yes then use this attribute and try using Set Web Attribute activity.  
Approach 2 :  
a. try and find out the attribute which differentiate between selected and non selected items.  
b. use find children activity and loop through all the rows and set the attribute (of step a) value to selected value.
