Hi @Leela_Javvaji
DropDown.xaml (11.1 KB)

The Above program is absolutely working for me, for your clear understanding i try to explain the logic

• Find Children output is always of type IEnumerable ( Collections type ) so when you loop this, you should change the type argument into UiPath.Core.UiElement which you can find in the Browse Section. So that all the elements which you iterates from the loop will be of UiElement.
• If you see the Element property of Get Attribute , i have passed for each loop variable Item into it, the reason being it generates the selector of the first element of the dropdown.
• If you display the output of Get Attribute it would be the drop down element(aaname)

These are the changes i have done in your code, you can make some changes accordingly by comparing both and run. If you Still facing the issue, kindly send me the browser link.

@Leela_Javvaji

Looks like you are scraping wrongly in Find Children Activity, try by scraping the entire region of drop-down instead by scraping only July, for example

If you are still facing problem, kindly send me the URL link.

yes…its working fine.

[GouthamVijay]

FYI…If you scrap only July, only the details of July going to add and if you scrap whole drop-down you are going to get whole data into one Collection(UiPath.Core.UiElement), hope it helped
