Answer 1

in Java, you need to create a select element to choose the options of the select.

The code will be somenthing like:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@placeholder='Assign to a member']"));

String option = "Option value you want to select";
Select select = new Select(element);
select.selectByVisibleText(option);
