    Hi Ching,

    I wonder if the following would work for you: create a .html file with the dropdown menu html code, then use the Open URL command (with URL = C:\Users...\dropdown.html) to open the file in a browser.  But I assume the bot would then be expected to respond to the user's selection from the dropdown menu and proceed. I am not sure you would get the bot to respond to user mouse clicks. If it's acceptable to get the user to enter their selection as text in an Input Box you could use that to get the user's selection and proceed with the rest of the script?

    Best regards,

    Bob

    IBM RPA Studio doesn't have a native "dropdown" UI control.
    The usual workaround is to use a Form → Select field (HTML-based) or build a small input form and capture the chosen value as a variable.
    Alternatively, store options in a list and prompt the user via form selection.
