[Closed] dropdownlist selected value as property of scripted plugin helper

I have a scripted plugin extending a point helper…

There’s a dropdownlist with a bunch of string values in it, and I have the property set to the right ui name…but when I evaluate the helper in my export script, the LightName property is empty. Do I have to manually assign the selected value to the property in the on selected action?

plugin Helper XPlaneObj8Light
	name:"X-Plane Light"
	classID:#(0x44b32286, 0x7d6d25b6)
	extends:Point

	parameters main rollout:XPlaneObj8LightParams
