This is correct and I think a good solution.
This is correct by accident and a not-so-good solution.
Not at all.
As others have stated here "choose from list" returns a list.
Others including me. You don't appear to have read my post past the
line you quoted.
So this solution works for the special case where just one element
is returned.
It's not a special case. It's the default behaviour.
Two better solutions are:
if item 1 of group is "Group A" then ...
Or, which also will work if multiple selections are allowed
if "Group A" is in group then ...
An don't forget to check for a Cancel:
If group is false then ...
Normally I would agree - as I stated in my first post - but Paul's
suggestion was compact and completely functional. These just take up
more space and add nothing in this instance.
