Need help in select item from list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 14

I want to select the item in the list that matches with the text key in, however when I use power automate desktop, there isn't an action that can perform this, e.g. get details of a UI element in window. Really needs help. I want to retrieve the options in the list

    Hi @LiuRuiRrrr 

     

    The title says "select item from list", but the post says about "retrieve the options in the list".

    Could you share what you are looking for so that an appropriate action can be suggested.

    For selecting an item from the list below are the actions.

    Choose the one depending on whether you are using a Web or a Desktop application.

    After you are done typing, try Send Keys {Enter} to select the option (it already looks highlighted) or Send Keys {Tab} (to see if it will tab out to the next field and leave the highlighted value).
