Select Multiple Options
This action selects multiple options in a list box.
The found tag must be a <select>-tag with multi-selection enabled, i.e. with a "multiple" attribute present.
Note that selecting the options may trigger execution of JavaScript, if there are any registered event handlers on the <select>-tag.
To select a single option in a drop-down box or list box, use the Select Option action. To loop through options, use the For Each Option action.
Properties
The Select Multiple Options action can be configured using the following properties:
- Options to Select
-
The options to select. You may either select ALL options or specify exactly the options to select. The list of options may be left empty to not select any options.
- Keep Existing Selections
-
Specifies whether existing selections in the list box should be kept. If this is not selected, and if no options have been selected in the Options to Select property, all existing selections in the list box will be unselected, and no new selections will be made.
- Continue when
- Add a wait criterion for the step. If you have several wait criteria, execution stops when any wait criterion is met. You can have several met wait criteria such as if you are waiting for two HTML elements that appear on the same load, or if you are waiting for an element on the main frame, and Initial Page Load Completes is set. For more information, see Use Wait Criteria.
- Options

The robot's options can be overridden with the step's own options. An option that is marked with an asterisk in the Options Dialog will override the one from the robot's configuration. All other options will be the same as specified for the robot.
