**Example**

&#x20;**Verifies whether the specified values exist in the dropdown list**

The **Verify Value Exists** action takes the values from the **Input Value** column (e.g.,**All;Last Month;Last 3 Months;Last 6 Months**) and checks whether each of the specified values is present in the dropdown list. The result of the verification is stored in the **{Verify}** variable as **True** (if all the provided values are found in the dropdown) or **False** (if any of the values is missing)
