Select dropdown

Select dropdown is an action that instructs the browser to automatically select a specific value from a dropdown menu.

🎥 Watch the tutorial video: Here.

⚠️ Important note: This action only works for elements with the standard HTML structure <select> (for example: dropdown menus for selecting Province/City, selecting traditional Year of Birth).

For newer generation dropdowns that are custom-built from <div> or <span> elements (like the interfaces of some modern social networks), this action will not work. In that case, you need to handle it by: Using the Mouse click command to click on the dropdown to expand the list ➔ Then use a second Mouse click command to select the desired value based on the XPath of that row.

Configuration parameters:

  • XPath: The identifier path (XPath) that directly leads to the <select> element on the webpage (Example: (//select)[1]).

  • Select text: Fill in based on the publicly displayed text on the screen (Example: <option value="VN">Việt Nam</option> ➔ Fill in the value as Việt Nam).

Practical example: Automatically select Country when registering an account

When your script reaches the account registration step and encounters a country selection dropdown.

  • Configuration:

    • XPath: (//select)[1]

    • Select text: Fill in Australia

  • Result: The system will immediately activate the selection box and change the displayed value on the screen to "Australia" accurately and safely.
