Hi,
 
I am trying to select "Louise Project Plan" from Abattoir folder under the link tree. However I want the select to by dynamic with the department variable. So if the department is Boning Hall it will select the other Louise Test Project. Any one know how this is achievable through web scraping?

    Go to your browsers Inspection tool and Copy the selector of one of the elements you want to be selected dynamically


    Then paste the selector to your 

    Then modify the selector so it doesn't reference index but text that the elements have. So in this example I want to select element that is under the "Australia" list element and "South Australia" element under that


    Then test the element to see if it works:


    You can change the contains text not to be hard coded text like "Australia" but variables like %Country%
