# Verify selected value

This is a pre-built action available under the **Captured Dropdown Element** from the **Desktop Application**. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to verify the user provided input value with the selected value from the dropdown, and save the result in dynamic variable.

**Example**

**Verifies whether the specified value is selected from the dropdown**

The **Verify Selected Value** action takes the value from the **Input Value** column (e.g., **Last Month**) and checks if the given value is currently selected in the dropdown. The result of the verification is stored in the **{Verify Selected}** variable as **True** ( if the specified value is selected successfully ) or **False** ( if verification fails )
