Example: Selecting a Value from a Dropdown within a Table Cell

In this example, we explain how to select a specific value from a dropdown list present inside a table cell.

• Action: Select Based on Absolute Value

• Input Value: 1;2;dropdown;1;High

  • The first argument (1) specifies the row number.

  • The second argument (2) specifies the column number.

  • The third argument (dropdown) specifies the object type to be interacted with.

  • The fourth argument (1) specifies the index of the object if multiple elements exist.

  • The fifth argument (High) specifies the value to be selected from the dropdown list.

• Output Value: {Status}

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

    • True: If the value is successfully selected from the dropdown.

    • False: If the value is not successfully selected from the dropdown.

• Logical Explanation: The Select Based on Absolute Value action reads the details from the Input Value column (1;2;dropdown;1;High). It locates the table cell at row 1 and column 2, identifies the dropdown element within that cell, and selects the specified value (High). The result of this operation (True) is saved in the {Status} variable.
