  Is there a way to grab the text of a pseudo popup effect?

  Posted by Frederic Antoinette on August 29, 2018 at 6:33 am

  Let’s say I created a pseudo effect with the days of the week.
  
^Effect matchname="Week days" name="$$$/AE/Preset/WeekDays=Week Days">
^Popup name="$$$/AE/Preset/WeekDay=WeekDay" popup_string="$$$/AE/Preset/WeekDay/Popup=Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|Sunday" default="1" />
^/Effect>


  If I use something like that
  effect("Week days")("WeekDay")
  or
  effect("Week days")("WeekDay").value

  I get the selection number (1 or 2 etc)

  Right now my solution would be to write some conditional code either if else or switch case to get the days of the week

  Is there a way to directly grab the text inside the popup so not having to write a long conditional code?
  Thanks
