The **Select Value by Index** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **3;2;dropdown;1;2**) and selects the option at the given index from the dropdown in the specified cell. The status of the action is stored in the **{DropdownStatus}** variable, with the following possible values:

* **True** – if the option is selected successfully
* **False** – if the selection fails or an error occurs
