Read Item Value for Combo box selected Item in Internet Explorer

ManishRaw — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 06:24:00 GMT

Is there an option in blue prism to read the "Item Value" of the selected item in an HTML combo box?

I am using Internet Explorer (IE 11) and Blue Prism 6.7.1

Please find the example below:

Suppose the the currently selected option in the combo box is "Not started" which corresponds to the "Item Value" of "0".

Is it possible to extract this selected "Item Value" i.e. "0" using Blue Prism?

Hi Manish

If Blue Prism has detected the element as a Combo Box, then you should be able to use a Read stage to 'Get All Items' into a collection and also to 'Get Selected Item Text.

If you need to know the relative item value of the selected text you can loop through the collection to calculate it.

Hi Tim,

I am able to extract the value which is shown in the UI. But not the Item value provided at the back-end of the HTML. Consider the below for example:

I am able to extract "Indian Rupee" using 'GetAllItems' and 'Get Selected Item Text', but I want to extract Item value which is "/m/02gsvk".
