The original choice looks like this when I print it:
print(choice)
('ksals', '', 'alsdkfj', '3', '')
I need to submit these as defaults to a multenterbox. Each entry above
ksals, "", "alsdkfj', 3 , '' need to fill the five fields in the box.
I tried your suggestion so you must be right it is a tuple of 5
strings. But I need them to work in an instruction like
fieldValues = eg.multenterbox(msg1,title, fieldNames, choice)
fieldNames has 5 fields.
