**Retrieves a specific value from the given object based on the index value**

The **Get Value by Index** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **select;;0;3**) and fetches the element present at the specified index within the object. The result of the fetch operation is stored in the **{Get Value}** variable, while the execution status is stored in the **{Status}** variable, with the following possible values:

* **True** – if the value is retrieved successfully.
* **False** – if retrieval fails
