Select a Menu Item that is unknown

I am trying to create a macro with a menu item that is unknown. In DEVONThink, I want to update the current workspace, one of six. When that menu displayed it is different for each workspace. How can I indicate “third item” or “menu item that starts with text “XXXX.” Here’s the example. I’ve tried indicated “Update*” but that doesn’t work. Any options?

The Select or Show a Menu Item lets you use regular expressions:

Alternatively, you can start the name with an ^ and use a regular expression to match the menu.

So just use that action, and put ^Update.* in the Menu Item box (with the correct Menu Title specified), and it should work.
