Hello qsw, I had a similar issue not with a drop down list but with a menu. I was unable to click on elements of the menu that were hide into the submenu list. I wrote a script that use `mouseOver()` to make element visible then to click on it, it solve my problem. May be could help you? 🤔 ---

Hi @qsw Try using `WaitForElementClickable` keyword too. Is the error the same even after you use `WaitForElementVisible` and `WaitForElementClickable` ? If that’s the case I’d recommend checking with the development team too see if there’s anything running behind that dropdown. Cheers! ---

Our web application front end framework use VUE. Can katalon support VUE framework? ---
