Click the Dropdown and Select the Value
Use Click UI Element in Window to open the dropdown.
Then use Click UI Element on the required option from the list.
Use Keyboard Actions
Click the dropdown button.
Use Send Keys such as {DOWN} and {ENTER} to navigate and select the desired value.
Re-capture the UI Element
Open the UI Elements pane and capture the dropdown again using a different selector technology (UI Automation, Web Automation, etc.).
Sometimes PAD recognizes the control correctly on a new capture.
Inspect the Element Type
Use the built-in UI Element picker or an inspection tool to check whether the control is a custom dropdown.
Many modern web applications use custom controls that appear as buttons, so standard "Set dropdown value" actions will not work. In such cases, use Click + Send Keys instead.
In most cases, Click the dropdown → Send Keys (Down Arrow) → Enter is the simplest and most reliable solution for custom dropdown controls.
