| options.force       | boolean   | `false` | Setting this to `true` will bypass the actionability checks (`visible`, `stable`, `enabled`).                                                                                                                                                                     |
| options.modifiers   | string\[] | `null`  | `Alt`, `Control`, `Meta` or `Shift` modifiers keys pressed during the action. If not specified, currently pressed modifiers are used.                                                                                                                             |
| options.noWaitAfter | boolean   | `false` | If set to `true` and a navigation occurs from performing this action, it will not wait for it to complete.                                                                                                                                                        |
| options.position    | object    | `null`  | A point to use relative to the top left corner of the element. If not supplied, a visible point of the element is used.                                                                                                                                           |
| options.position.x  | number    | `0`     | The x coordinate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| options.position.y  | number    | `0`     | The y coordinate.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| options.strict      | boolean   | `false` | When `true`, the call requires selector to resolve to a single element. If given selector resolves to more than one element, the call throws an exception.                                                                                                        |
| options.timeout     | number    | `30000` | Maximum time in milliseconds. Pass `0` to disable the timeout. Default is overridden by the `setDefaultTimeout` option on [BrowserContext](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/browsercontext/) or [Page](/docs/k6/latest/javascript-api/k6-browser/page/). |
| options.trial       | boolean   | `false` | Setting this to `true` will perform the actionability checks without performing the action.                                                                                                                                                                       |
