Calling Angular Script
Hi everyone,
I have a similar situation as this post: https://collaborate.pega.com/question/how-trigger-selection-option-select-control-pega-rpa
I have a combobox on a web page, once the selection is changed, there is a subsequent action of triggering an exe. I can change the combobox selection but unable to trigger the subsequent event. I tried executeScript on webpage level and RaiseEvent on the combobox, but no success.
The subsequent action is actually coded in Angular (using ‘ng-change=’).
Can anyone please assist?

Actually, matter is resolved. I used the same script as Mitchell provided previously. It is not working because there is a bug in the code. Here is the correct version:
function raiseEvent(htmlId) {
var target = document.getElementById(htmlId);
var eventObject = document.createEvent("Event");
eventObject.initEvent('change', true, false);
target.dispatchEvent(eventObject);
}
Thank you

Hi Fiona,
Raising the event seems to be the correct option but you need to figure out the exact event that gets triggered when the you manually change the comb box.
You may try to track the event by using profiling that is available with browser.
That should give you a fair idea on the event that actually gets triggered.
