    This screen tells me what is going wrong,

     

    Cell is the ObjectType and is not a callable function. This is what you can do.

     

    Option #1

    You can do like below

    if(form.panel4.table.Exists){
        var propNames = ["ObjectType","RowIndex","ColumnIndex"];
        var propValues = ["Cell","1","8"];
        var cellObject = form.panel4.table.FindChild(propNames,propValues);
        
        if(cellObject.Exists){
            textNodeObj = cellObject.FindChild("textnode propnames","textnode propvalues");
            textNodeObj.click();
            textNodeObj.Keys("[Down]");
        }
    }

    Option #2

     

    1. Create two project variables named (rowIndex, columnIndex)
    2. Edit the RowIndex object property and change it project variable and select the rowIndex Variable
    3. Edit the ColumnIndex object property and change it project variable and select the columnIndex Variable
    4. And try with below code
        Project.Variables.rowIndex = 1;
    Project.Variables.columnIndex = 8;
    
    if(form.panel4.table.Cell2.textnode.Exists){
        form.panel4.table.Cell2.textnode.click()
        form.panel4.table.Cell2.textnode.Keys("[Down]")
    }

     

    Let me know if this works for you!

        Were you able to spy the dropdown object, if yes then

        1. Take the properties of the dropdown object,
        2. Loop thru each cell and identify which has to have dropdown with the use of properties 
        3. Click on the drop down, try to find spy objects in the list and repeat the 1 and 2 cells.

        More details on the object and screenshot would be better to help
