Webpage Drop down menu variable

Posted on by macdonal_T

Hello,

I have a changing destination variable in my PA desktop flow that I am trying to use on a webpage. When I enter the address, I only have the City and State/Province. That generates a drop down menu where I would need to select first the city and state i entered, and then I would have to scroll the table and select a random address in the middle. I have managed to be able to do this through a combination of hovering my mouse, clicking links on web page, using keyboard, etc. My issue resides in the way that it only works for the specific variable I set it with at the time. Once that variable changes, it no longer works. I have tried everything I can think of, the one that made the most sense to me was using keyboard actions but they don't seem to work on automate even though they work on the website. I have also tried editing the selection of the UI element so that it does not include the "title" but instead the "class" . This also does not work. I have attached a picture of this part of my flow, The page drop down menu, and the second meu for address after City selection. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I have been hitting my head against the wall for too long now.

Hi @macdonal_T ,

to set focus on dropdown use action "Click UI Element in Window" for element City and State dropdown
to type City and State use action "Send Keys"
use keys: 'cityVariable, {TAB}, stateVariable, {ENTER}'

to select from dropdown use action: "Click UI Element in Window" for element Matching city and state
then scroll and select address use action "Find Text on Screen" use text Address pattern then
followed by "Click UI Element in Window"

Mark as solution if it helps.

Thanks,

Hi Sandeep,

I am a little confused. Can you show me through screenshots of a flow what you mean?
