Hi Patnaik14,
As you didn't mentioned it for which type of application you want to automate, am explaining it for windows application,
spy the Element and Choose "READ" stage and in that choose Data as "Get All Items" and store in a Collection. All the Drop down values will be stored in collection.
Hope i solved your doubt.
Like it.
Thanks,

assuming you want to select a drop down from an HTML element (browser)..below are the steps -
1) spy the element using HTML mode. you would get the Element type as HTML Combo Box.
2) Use navigate stage and supply the value of the drop down in "Item Value" to select the appropriate drop down value.
See the screen shots.

Hi Patnaik,
You can use "Select Item" action in the navigate stage to select drop down values and you can specify the item text or position in the inputs section of navigate stage.

Hi @Highspirits ,
I am able to select the required drop down value with your method but with next click to other edit boxes the drop down value goes off.

1)Global mouse click center "LEFT" 2) Global send keys [INPUT]&"{ENTER}".

Hi All, it always depends on the application(Web/Windows). You may get all items in collection or may not also.
You can click on the drop-down and directly pass the value(Which one you want to select from Drop-down) using Global send keys........
Otherwise if you know the position of the value then use Global send keys to up or down to that position then Enter
So it depends upon then application and how you are adjusting

Are the list items in the 2nd drop down dependent on the selected item of the 1st drop down? You might need a wait stage for browser to load up the right items in 2nd drop down.
Or you could be passing the wrong value into the 2nd drop down. Did you use Collection.Item as input value?
