Posted on by NeohLooi

I am trying to automate some data entry from my side into google form, I am unable to select dropdown element in google form.

I know I should get some element such as <select>, but in the end I only can able to get <div> and <span> in google form.

Is it any other way to do this or this is the existing problem for power automate desktop can't utilize google form?

Hi @NeohLooi

Try this option
- Choose the "Set drop-down.." action and click Add UI element

- This will open up the tracking session and when you hover your mouse over a list box it will show List Item

- OR If you hover a little bit above on the top left hand corner, it will show "List"

Check for both options List or List Item and see which works for you.

You may possibly need to play with the selectors if it is directly not working with the above UI elements.

I tried using add UI Element with Browser Automation, but what I found only many <div> in the form.
Is that any different between UI Automation and Browser Automation?

@NeohLooi ui automation targets desktop application whereas browser automation is for web related actions.

Have you tried selecting the dropdown arrow prior to making the selection? This is sometimes necessary in my experience.

I used the arrow, since it is a popup dropdown, I able to use condition detecting the <div> popup dropdownlist, but i unable to select any option.
