You still didn't tell is this a Swing, Windows, or web GUI, or
something else. There are separate libraries for all these GUIs so
when you say `list` it's impossible to know what you mean.

Based on your other question regarding HTML tables, I assume you are
still in web world an use SeleniumLibrary. Apparently it doesn't have
`List Should Have Items` keyword nor related `List Should (Not) Have
Item` keywords. I think adding them would make sense and that should
also be relatively easy. Please submit an enhancement request about
this to SeleniumLibrary's issue tracker.

Finally, using for loop like you've done sounds like a good workaround
for this limitation. If you wrap that loop into a user keyword with a
good name, there's practically no difference compared to having `List
Should Have Items` keyword in the library.

Hi,

Its a web UI and I am using Selenium Library. I will try to log an enhancement issue for this and I am using this functionality as a keyoword with the for loop.

The code for the same is as follows:

${Element} is just a variable

@{AttrCondList} is a list of values of items in the list which you need to create and define.

you can add this as a keyword and use it generically.

: FOR ${Element} IN @{AttrCondList}
Select From List <list object locator> ${Element}
