Select option robotframework

Really quick (but complicated?) question.

I have this:

<select multiple="multiple" id="id_products" class="selectmultiple" name="products">
    <option value="3243">testproductP (3243)</option>
    <option value="3244">testproductQ (3244)</option>
</select>

I need to robotframework with selenium to replicate that I select an option. However I can not find a keyword like "Select Option". So I tried using "Click Element" with an xpath pointing to the option. 

Click Element  xpath=//select[@name="products"]/option[@value=3244]

However this fails the test with the error: "timeout: timed out"

The xpath returns the correct element, but somehow it times out. Maybe Click Element is not supposed to be used like this, but I can't find a better keyword.

Any idea what's going on?

Try to select the element using Javascript. Example:

Execute Javascript document.querySelector("your css").click()

Use " select element by value " keyword and specify the Xpath of the list dropdown and value of component which you want to select from list.

Click Element waits for a page load event unless you give it an additional parameter telling it not to wait. However, you should also be able to use the "Select From List" keyword.

Have fun!
