Problem description:
I'm trying to remove a lot of the redundant things in my 20 year old codebase and figured I'd give a shot at associative lists. However I'm not really sure how I can get the first item in the iconchoice variable at the end. Is there any way I could make this work or am I going about it the wrong way?
Edit:
I hate digging into this stuff for so long, making a post about it, then figuring out the issue but here we go. Just had to change my return.
return iconlist["[choice]"]
