I am currently facing an issue while trying to automate a dropdown in SAP using UiPath Studio Community Edition. The dropdown disappears when scanned, and UiPath is unable to locate the UI element at runtime.
“Select item” fails, and UI Explorer cannot capture as the dropdown disappears quickly. Even after pausing and capturing, execution throws “No UI element found.”
Could you please suggest the correct approach or a reliable workaround for selecting dropdown values in SAP (for example, through scripting, hotkeys, or alternative methods)?
Try Using Get Children Activity (Classic) and then loop through the collections and then use Get Attributes and use what is desired.
OR
Enable scripting in SAP: In SAP GUI: Options > Accessibility & Scripting > Scripting > Enable Scripting on the server, confirm scripting is allowed.
Use the “SAP GUI for Windows” activities in UiPath like SAP Select Item activity
You’re on the right track and very close to your solution. Open your selector in UI Explorer. To navigate there, click the UI Explorer icon shown in the screenshot.
Try using alternatives like AaName instead of SAP WebId, then validate the UI in UI Explorer. Once it highlights the correct element, click Save.
