How to select drop down menu to trigger web interaction? XClick isn't working

I need to select an item from a drop-down menu. Once that item is selected in the drop down menu, it triggers something on the site and allows you to input data in the next text field.

When I record my mouse movements and clicks using Automator on Mac, I have been able to replicate the behavior.

However, I cannot get it to work on UI Vision. When I record a macro and attempt to play it back, UI Vision CORRECTLY selects the value from the drop down. However it does not trigger that web interaction once it is selected. The recording uses the commands “click” and then “select”.

If I manually change it to XClick, it opens up the drop down menu correctly. I then have XType to type the menu item that I want. But it just hangs there, it does not actually select the item in the list, even after I use XType ${KEY_ENTER}

I tried putting in a ${KEY_ESC} put this behavior is erratic, it seems like it sometimes selects the first item on the list.

How can I select the correct item on the drop down list so that it triggers the web interaction and then makes the next text field visible?

Use Xclick to click the value

I dont see option to type the State

Click with X,Y

Thanks! Yes, it is a regular drop down menu, so there is no typing field, but I figured by typing it in it would select the correct state. How can I manually use XClick to select state? The menu that opens up needs to be scrolled down as the state to be selected is beyond the field of view.

use X,Y with XCLICK to scroll down (if working) till its visible and then you can click with OCR / X,Y

Example:
XClick | 10,20 | |

this pointed me in the correct direction and then it worked perfectly, thank you! I used XMouseWheel to scroll the results and then XCLICK x,y

Can you share video of XScrollWheel ?

I used XMouseWheel, my apologies I forgot the command in my original post so I have edited it. I will record a video later for you if it will still be helpful?

{
“Command”: “XMouseWheel”,
“Target”: “-500”,
“Value”: “”,
“Description”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “XClick”,
“Target”: “800,177”,
“Value”: “”,
“Description”: “”
},
