Trouble setting the dropdown value for an Angular mat-select element​

When trying to set the dropdown field value of a mat-select element from Angular Framework using Set Dropdown Field Value activity under the Web Automation category, it fails. This issue is because of the lack of a JavaScript-based method for setting the value in Angular.

Here is the example of the mat-select element used in one of the web pages:

To address this issue, you can follow these steps as a workaround:​

  1. Use Click Element activity to click dropdown. It will display a pop-up with available options.

  2. Again, use Click Element activity to click on desired options from the pop-up.
