Dynamic content on listbox

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

I am trying to get the name of the elements of a list of boxes using the action Get details of elements on web page of Power Automate Desktop, passing the CSS selector with the position of each element in a dynamic way (using a variable indicating its position inside the list).

The problem is about that those elements are added or removed from the list while the scroll of the list is moved up or down and the same way, the position number inside the list of each element isn't fixed and it depends on the position of the scroll bar.

Thanks in advance,

Axel

I imagine some use of "Add to List" where you pull these in, in order. Forget about the position given to you by the CSS, but rather, use the index of your list to indicate their position.

Hi Michael.

Thanks for your answer.

What do you mean with "Add to List" ?

I was saying that, if you are successfully extracting the name of the selection options, find a way to add that to your own created list using the "add to list" command; so it would look like this:

Launch Browser to URL
Create New List
Extract Web Data
Add to List
Scroll Down (in Web)
Extract Web Data
Add to List
so on and so forth until you can't scroll down anymore, and then reference your list to choose the CSS for the rest of your bot.

Good luck.

Hi again Michael.

Got it.

One thing that I didn't mention, I need also the position of the element, because I need after on to click on some checkboxes related to the element.

Another thing, the scroll down failed after one click..

Thanks again
