scrollToExact(“text”) function usually works well inside a dropdown list. Try that.

For Date Picker, in my project I am relying on sendKeys for each individual edit box with index [ex: 0 index for Date, 1 index for month and 2 index for Year …]… this is not reliable, but works for now 🙂

I will explore more and let you know, if I get any better solution.

Note : Answered the same in Github portal as well

Hi, sendKeys() is not working for me. Do you have an alternative solution for this? Thanks
