In V17, popups work with form object expressions. If you set the expression to “Form.payment_type”, then when it displays, it selects the appropriate value in the popup, and choosing an item populates Form.payment_type” with the value. If you have a static set of options you just enter them in the object properties and you’re done. If you need a dynamic list it’s also pretty easy to use New list and OBJECT SET LIST BY REFERENCE. Much nicer than using popups with arrays. > But with respect to changing the names of a few form objects why is that a > deal?

That was entirely my point; if you use form object names to reference the value, I.e. > Here is an example. I created a form with one in input and the object method > below. The form object name is "some.property.path" and the expression is > Form.some.property.path. Then you probably can’t use form object names to help manage groups of form objects.
