    I’m not sure what you mean exactly. If you apply this expression to the Take Red From parameter

    if (effect(“On/off”)(“Checkbox”) == 1) 2 else 3

    You’ll get the red channel when the checkbox is on, and the green channel when it’s off. You have to specify index of the dropdown item you want.
