Can anyone help me please?

Answer 1

You can use contains in your XPath

xpath = "//a[@class='dropdown-item' and contains(@text, 'lalalaaaaaaaaa')]"

Answer 2

Try with Xpath with help of partial text and class

//a[@class='dropdown-item' and contains(., 'lalalaaaaaaaaa')]

only with partial text

//a[contains(., 'lalalaaaaaaaaa')]
