The Set Element Combo Box block selects one or more values from a combo box in a Salesforce application. Combo boxes can allow typing, selecting from a list, or both, which makes them useful for fields such as categories, industries, or multi-select preferences.
This block is automatically generated when you type into or select values from a combo box while recording with the Salesforce Fusion Recorder. It also supports combobox actions performed inside grid elements (for example, list or table views).
Note: This block works only in browser sessions launched using the Salesforce Login block or within an active Salesforce recording session.
Fully expanded, the Set Element Combo Box block shows the following properties:

Quick-start
-
In the Salesforce Fusion Recorder, record a step where you set a combo box value (by typing, selecting from the list, or both).
-
Stop the recording and review the generated blocks; adjust any parameters you need before saving.
-
Save the recording so the recorded flow is added to the canvas, then run the flow when it’s ready.
Building block parameters
Parameters
-
Block header: Shows the current title of the Set Element Combo Box block. You can rename it by double-clicking the header and typing a new title (Fusion Recorder typically auto-names it based on the captured element/action).
The green input connector triggers the block when the flow reaches it, and the green output connector triggers when the combo box values are set successfully. -
Combo box value: Specifies the value or values to select in the combo box. The available options are captured during recording, and you can change the selection later in Studio.
This parameter is mandatory.
-
Fail: Triggers if the combo box (or the requested values) cannot be found or applied within the configured timeout. Use this output to branch the flow for fallback handling.
-
Default timeout: Controls whether the block uses a fixed timeout or the flow’s default timeout. If the checkbox is not selected, the block uses a fixed timeout; if it is selected, the flow’s default timeout is applied.
-
Timeout (sec): Sets how long the block waits for the combo box and its values to become available before triggering Fail. This field is only visible when Default timeout is not selected.
