Collections, Lists and Strings, Oh My!

Collections, Lists and Strings, Oh My!

Has anybody else run into the issue? You pass a collection of string elements to a custom function. Then iterate through using for each and Creator interprets each variable as string that includes the quotation marks. So a string "Dog" isn't actually Dog, it's ""Dog"". Support told me to switch to a list. That confused me on a whole other level as list functions are listed as deprecated on the main Deluge help website. This seems like a bug. Am I missing something with Collections? Are there certain limitations using strings within a collection?
