Best way to deal with dropdown menu and random choice?

[bambinou]

Hi,

I have multiple drodown menus on a form, some with values of 1,2,3,4,5 but others with words value(like cities and so on). What is the best way to choose a dropdown menu with random values please?


Thank you,

Ben

Hi, Ben.

You can save word values to list and get lines from the list randomly. It should be possible to parse word values from dropdown menu element by getting its attribute "innertext" in actions designer.

Nope, this is weird, when I set it as you describe the dropdown menu items show up really fast like if the variable was going through the whole table in one go item per item then the select dropdown returns blanc.
Now another solution I am thinking about, how to input random keystrokes please? Can I use a table and add in each row for example:
{enter}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Ben

Ok it worked
I created a table with this inside:
{enter}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}
{enter}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}{down}



It is now working well as you only need to add the number of lines by drown down menu options.
I will do that for all my projects now, it is much easier...

Thanks,

Ben
