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: Logic [160-169]

  • The first argument (Logic [160-169]) 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 takes the value from the Input Value column (Logic [160-169]). 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.
