choose from list defaults


  • Subject: choose from list defaults
  • From: Luther Fuller <email@hidden>

This script works correctly ...

	set choices to {"meat", "potatoes", "apple pie"}
	set defaultItem to {item 2 of choices}
	choose from list choices default items defaultItem

However, the dictionary for 'choose from list' states ...

[default items list of text or number] : a list of items to initially select (an empty list if no selection)

which would seem to indicate that this second line should work ...

	set defaultItem to {2}

But ... it does NOT work. There is no default selection. Perhaps I am misreading the dictionary or perhaps there is a(nother) bug here?
