Drop Down Copy Personas

[former_member193106]

Hi,

I have 2 drop down box in the first screen. I have manually given the drop down values. When i select values for the 2 drop down, I am not able to see the steps recorded in the script. So i am not able to do the copy & past value.

If i make it as normal text boxes, i am able to get the steps recorded & do  the copy, past from first to second screen respectively. Can anyone share light on how to do the same with drop down list?

Kind Regards,

Kalyan

I always build the copy and paste script on the text field first, then convert the text field to a drop-down afterwards.

Hi Steve,

I have build the copy & paste script using text field & it works perfect. As soon as i make one of the text field as drop-down, the script fails for that field & doesn't copy as well paste.

I got 8 field in screen 1 as text field. Making one of the field as drop-down throws the error "Step 15 of the executed script failed! Reason: failed to set value".

Whereas, when all the eight fields are text box, script works perfect.

Also i am not able to see the description of the drown-down.Only the code of drop-down are shown.

Please help....

Kind Regards,

Kalyan

Here's how I would build it. This is all done on the same screen for ease of demo. I have implemented similar scenarios but navigating to another screen before pasting, and there's no difference. In this video I start with a blank screen, add two text fields and a script button to copy the value from one to the other. Then I convert the first field to a dropdown and add a couple of values, before checking that the copy still works.

Is this what you did? If not, what have you done differently?

For displaying both value and key in a custom dropdown, you need to look at the field's properties. Like this:

Hi Steve,

Mistake was from my end. I have done the drop-down. But in place of "Label", i gave the "Value" text & in place of "Value" i gave the "Label" text.Now i changed the text respectively & it works perfect.

Thank you for your valuable time

Kind Regards,
