    If it's a real drop down, you can use this action with your variable for a to be selected name or index: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/actions-reference/webautomation#setdropdownlistvaluebase

     

    or just send key strokes

    or execute JavaScript to activate/remove items

     

    Sending form data is also possible with the cloud flows HTTP connector, just analyze and rebuilt the post action

    So the action doesn't work? Do you have an example?

    List box and drop down are actually the same, just the selection option is different: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_box

    Please use this action, it also supports multiple values to be selected: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/actions-reference/webautomation#setdropdownlistvaluebase

    I'm unable to select listbox as ui element,  any used case?

    The HTML element ist called "select". Did you install the browser extension?

    This example works fine for me: https://wiki.selfhtml.org/extensions/Selfhtml/frickl.php/Beispiel:HTML_select-Element1.html#view_result

    I have went through the process.  Mine is SAP based web page, where the list box is nothing but a table class. So i think we need to inject java script. Any idea how to select multiple column data ( <td>) using java script.

    Just get the <td> element(s) and send a click
