Example: Selecting an Item from a List or Dropdown using Visible Text

In this example, we explain how to select an item from a dropdown or list based on the provided visible text.

• Action: Select value by text

• Input Value: Last Month

  • The first argument (Last Month) specifies the visible text of the item to be selected from the dropdown or list element.

• Output Value: {Status}

  • The execution result of the selection action is stored in the {Status} dynamic variable with the following possible values:

    • True: If the item is selected successfully.

    • False: If the item is not selected successfully.

• Logical Explanation: The Select value by text action reads the value from the Input Value column (Last Month). This action identifies the option in the dropdown or list matching the specified text and selects it. The status of the operation (True) is stored in the {Status} variable.
