ringtext.text property of ring returns <index> instead of text

The ringtext.text property of my ring returns <0>, <1>,....<#>, ect. instead of the actual text.  I can work around it and use text[] and index the string array and get the correct text.

when i first built the main VI and used the ringtext.text property it worked, but at seemingly random it stopped and started to return the above described index number in angled brackets instead.  Does anyone have any idea why that would happen?  I fixed it once by replacing the block with a fresh one of the same property node but that one went bad later too.

Those get returned if you don't have the strings in the ring actually in there. Sounds to me like you're setting the value of the ring before you've actually updated the strings.
