select item from dataset (seems to have stopped working )

darkponydarkpony
in Help! with 2.0
(set: $da to (dataset: "gold", "frankincense", "myrrh"))
(either: ... $da)

This was working just fine last week. took some time off from my story and now I can't figure this out.
This currently displays all three text items, comma delimited. I have no idea why. It was working just fine to pull a random one from the list last week.

    (either:...$da)

    Except it is using an object of a different datatype.

    I am having problems debugging this issue for you because Twine 2.0.11 breaks older versions of Twine 2 if they are installed at the same time on Windows 10, and running multiple releases of Twine 2 was the easiest way to work with or debug stories using older versions of Harlowe and Snowman.

    "Except it is using an object of a different datatype." I just wanted to say that by swapping a: out in place of dataset: i was able to assure myself I didn't have a simple typo somewhere.

    Thanks for looking into this. For I'm doing I can certainly use array just fine for now.
