  Hello JSmithm,

  Thank-you for your question.

  When you have a combo list (Drop-down list) inside a table, to work with this combo list (Meaning, to recognize it and to be able to automate it) we need to define the list as a separate object.

  These are the steps to define a List inside a webtable:

  1. We will define the entire list itself:
  1.1 Select the list as the object type.
  1.2 Select the number of rows in the list.
  1.3 Mark the number of rows.

  2 Select the column of the table where the Combo-lists appear as a separate new object type List (You can also select it as a Table object instead).

  3. When done, in the testing script use the "zapSelectRowCombo" method to select the specific Combo-list object:
  3.1 Provide the List object that we created previously and the row number that is going to be selected.

  4. Select an item from the Combo-list itself:
  4.1 Select an item from the Combo-list using the "zapSelectRowEx" method.

  Please contact Zap for further help.

  Thanks,
  Sasha
