clickItem() is not properly selecting dropdown value

Question

Hey all,So currently, our organization is utilizing the following stack, which we have to utilize since all of our other tests are running on the same stack:Version: 15.61.1.7 x64Version 121.0.2277.106For some reason, the clickItem() function in TestComplete is not able to properly select the value that is needed in the dropdown, it keeps selecting a different value.Demo:We have our "import_selectConfiguration" function which has the value "GCT_1291_AUTO".We can see that our "GCT_1291_AUTO" is the 128th index number in our configList.We can see that our ClickItem has the value "GCT_1291_AUTO", but when it goes to select the dropdown value, it chooses an value that is incorrect.Here is the options view in the console.We have been battling with this issue for a while, so I would like to see what I might be able to do.

Can you create a separate function, just to perform the ClickItem("GCT_1291_AUTO") ?
Also, what technology does your web application use?
A number of people are having similar issues, but neither of them have mentioned the technology used. I've tested this against Bootstrap, and standard HTML, and it works fine.

The web application is built using:- Java for the back-end.- React for the front-end.- This is a spring boot application.We are using TestComplete to write BDD tests using JScript.

Could you go to https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select and then run the following JavaScript sample,
function SelectItem()
{
    var page = Sys.Browser().Page("https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select").FindElement("#iframeResult");
    var listbox = page.FindElement("//select[@id=(//label[.='Choose a car:']/@for)]");
    listbox.ClickItem("Audi");
}
Is the correct item 'Audi' selected?

Correct, it does - Audi is properly selected.However, I do see that "Audi" is the value, which makes things easy to select, but we auto-produce values and use the "Dropdown Field Name", such as:&lt;option value="dsgfdhgty65yhghgf"&gt;GCT_1291_AUTO&lt;/option&gt;That seems to be an issue, unless we can update this function to differently target it:function import_selectConfiguration(name, description, customerCode) {&nbsp; &nbsp; waiter(SHORT_WAIT);&nbsp; &nbsp; var configName;&nbsp; &nbsp; var select = popupWindow.FindChild("ObjectType", "Select", MED_DEPTH);&nbsp; &nbsp; var configList = aqObject.GetPropertyValue(select, "ContentText").split('
');&nbsp; &nbsp; var exactMatchFound = false;&nbsp; &nbsp; for (var i = 0; i &lt; configList.length; i++) {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (configList[i] === configName) {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; select.ClickItem(configName);&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Delay(5000);&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; if (select.wText == configName) {&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Log_Message("Found and selected configuration: " + configName, STEP_NORM);&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; exactMatchFound = true;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; break;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp; }&nbsp; &nbsp; return true;}

Did you create a simple function, just to perform the listbox.ClickItem("GCT_1291_AUTO")?
TC will select the item name shown in the list, and not the value i.e. listbox.ClickItem("356c1d59-20a2-482f-bd88-80a9486980a3");
