Select Option

Choose an option in a select Element by value, text, or index.

Select option chooses an item in a native <select> control. Use it when the field is a real select element. For custom dropdowns built from buttons and lists, use Touch on the trigger and the option instead.

Pro tip: If Touch on a custom dropdown is unreliable, check whether the control is a native select first. Select option is simpler when it is.
