Use of If else statement for a object clicked

Hello,   I had a main reusable keyword script , which opened a wizard and then there was a dropdown for me to select options, but now the dropdown is no more and it is a "tree" to select options. ...

To be more clear, I had made a parameter "import type" for the downdown combo. And given a if condition. But now i just have to click on the tree and have no condition. What can i do in this case.

Hi,

 

Can you read each dropdown elements as "MenuItem"?

 

If you can do that read whole values into array (if you are using for example javascript) and then create if or maybe switch based on array index.

item/index.html

 

You can enable a Text Recognition Options option too, and with that option search for value in dropdown.

here is the link for documentation:

Or more simpler solution. Click on dropdown value -> and after that check the wText or maybe Text property of that specific dropdown

 

Let me know if that helped you.

    Hello, 

         Dropdown was the old version and I had the solution, but now it is like a tree and my question is can i use if statement for for it. For example if i click on first object of the tree then go to this page and so on.

    What i understand is if statement needs condition and my only condition is to cllick the desired object on tree..

      Like you've said, an if statement requires a condition.  Wamboo is giving you options for possible conditions that might work.

       

      On the other hand, just because your test worked before doesn't mean it's the best way to test now.  How would you test this tree if you had never had the drop down?
