addSelection, removeSelection - Selenium IDE
addSelection (locator, option locator), removeSelection (locator, option locator) - Selenium IDE command
The addSelection command adds a selection to the set of options in a multi-select element. And the removeSelection command remove a selection from the set of selected options in a multi-select element using an option locator.
The command is automatically recorded.
addSelection/removeSelection Example
Multi-select boxes let the user select more than one option in the list. And with the "add Selection" and "remove Selection" commands you can automate this task. This example allows you to select your favorite species of flamingo. You may control-click (Windows) or command-click (Mac) to select more than one. UI.Vision RPA records your clicks and adds addSelection and removeSelection commands automatically.
