# Drop File On the Object

This is a pre-built Action located under the **@Custom Element**. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to drop a file onto the object specified in the input by providing the file path from the local system. The result is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Drop File on the Object** action works only when the **VerifyExists** action is executed in a preceding step.
{% endhint %}

| <p>\<abs><br>(Optional</p>             | If the **abs** is provided, the action is performed with absolute identification using the **absolute X path** |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**:

* To skip an optional input value, use an extra semicolon (;).
  {% endhint %}

**Output Value**: `<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);<Dynamic Variable>(Optional)`

| Argument                                                    | Description                                                       |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Optional);\<Dynamic Variable>(Optional) | Both dynamic variable stores the status as **True** or **False**. |

**Example**

**Performs a file drop operation on a specified object in the application interface**

The **Drop File On the Object** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **div;;0;C:\Documents\Reports;Report\_Q2.pdf**) and drops the given file onto the specified object. The result of the drop operation is stored in the **{Drop file}** variable, with the following possible values:

* **True** – if the file is dropped successfully.
* **False** – if the drop fails.
