Choose a select option
select_optionPick an option from a dropdown menu by visible label, value, or position. When no match is found, it lists the actual options so you can correct the choice and retry.
Instructions
Choose an option in a , by value, visible label or index.
fill also works on a , but only matches the value attribute, which is not what a snapshot shows you — so it had to be guessed. This matches what you can actually see, and when nothing matches it lists the real options instead of only saying no.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| uid | Yes | Element uid from the most recent take_snapshot, e.g. "4_12". uids are invalidated whenever the page changes — if you get "unknown uid", take a fresh snapshot and retry with the new uid. | |
| option | Yes | The option to choose. Matched against the value attribute first, then the visible label, then — if it is a plain number — the position in the list. A failure names every option the <select> actually has. | |
| browser | No | Which browser to act on. Each name is an independent Chrome, created on first use. Omit for the shared default; parallel agents each need their own name. | default |
| include_snapshot | No | Append a fresh page snapshot to the response. Worth it when this action changes the page and take_snapshot would be your next call anyway — it saves a round trip, at the cost of a much larger response. |
