How do I set a ring enum to the first item, regardless of its value

[tst]

Well, the OpenG data tools do extract the list of values (you can thank JPD for that), and you can get the strings by going over all the values of the enum in a loop and using Format Into String.

I know HOW to do it using the TD, I just find is silly to HAVE to.

Plus, we were talking about text rings, not enums.  Setting an enum to the lowest value (0) is quite easy.

I've very little experience with text rings, I don't really use them.

Shane, are non-sequential values for rings allowed in 6.1? I can't remember when they were introduced. If they aren't then there isn't a strings and values property.
You are right about the TD; it would be helpful only for enums.

Aha, Thanks JeanPierre,

I thought the non-sequential text rings were always there.  Like I said, I've zero experience with them actually.

This would indeed explain why I can't find a way to access the minimum value, since it's basically always 0.

Thanks everyone for bearing with me.
