Some specific PAD actions are not displayed in the "Actions" field

Hello.

Now I'm trying to make a Desktop flow with PAD referring to a Youtube video explaining how to do that.

The video tutorial saids there are actions named "Selecting from drop-down list on a Web page" and "Selecting from drop-down list on a window" (I'm not sure the exact translation to English, cause all I can see is Japanese version.).

However, I can't find those actions in the "Actions" field on my Desktop flow editor.

Does anybody know why does it happen and how can I solve this problem?

    Hi @Xiaolan 

     

    The two actions you are referring in English are:

    For your reference you can find all the list of actions in Power Automate Desktop here

    Hi @VJR

    Thank you for your reply, now I know the English name of those actions.

    But sorry, my explanation was not good. It doesn't solve the provlem yet.

    I meant, I can't find that two actions ("Set drop-down list value on window/Set drop-down list value on web page") on my editor. The problem is not that I don't know the English names, but that actually I can't find these actions in my action list on PAD. I would like to know the reason why these actions don't show up, and how to make them activate.

    Hi @VJR

     

    Sorry, now the problem is solved.

    I simply overlooked the arrow on the left of the title.

    I clicked it and some actions are opened.

    Good to know you figured it out.

    Simply type the keyword in the search box.

    It will bring up even if you do not click the black arrow.
