In this example, 1st “runScript” command will differentiate last 2 values (Toyota,Renault ) from all value string and store it in variable ‘values’. And 2nd “runScript” command will split 1st value (Toyota) and store it in variable ‘values’. This way you can store your required value from drop down to variable.
